Prediction

Arizona smelled blood and now they want more. They came so close to knocking off Washington and believe they can do the same to the Bruins. The defense is questionable, but they have a potent rushing attack led by Dawkins and believe that they will try to run on UCLA.

The Bruins no that Dawkins is a threat, but they also know he might be the only threat. With Arizona hit hard by injuries, there are not a lot of players that could help out Dawkins, especially in the ground game. Because of that, the Bruins are going to try and contain him and let him him throw to try and get any type of production.

As for the offense, this could be the game that the Bruins have been waiting for. Aside from UNLV, the Bruins have faced some tough defensive competition and not to say Arizona does not have what it takes to stop UCLA, but they are nothing like Texas A&M, BYU and Stanford.

I expect the Bruins to control this game from start to finish as they show the country that they are a team to be feared.

Prediction: UCLA 35 – Arizona 10
