91. Freshmen RBs Brandon Stephens and Jalen Starks

We have talked about UCLA’s three upperclassmen RBs, Jamabo, Olorunfunmi and Starks, but they also have two sophomores that made an impression in their first season. But also as stated above, rotating five players into one or two spots is going to create a logjam, so what are the freshmen running back’s roles in 2017?

92. All-Pac-12 performances

There are several players that should get recognized for their contributions to the UCLA Football team. Will only one or two make it or can the Bruins produce several players that impress the other coaches in the conference.

93. Any chance of winning the South Division?

If USC, Utah and Colorado all get swallowed up by the Earth, sure.

94. Cal put in its place?

UCLA ended an embarrassing season with an embarrassing loss in Berkeley. This year the game is played at the Rose Bowl. Expect UCLA to not only put big brother in their place, but also teach them lesson that you don’t mess with the Bruins.

95. Will the gas tank be empty by season’s end?

The team got tired by the end of the season and it caused even more losses. That mostly had to do with time of possession, but regardless, the team got tired. Let us hope they can pace themselves better for this crucial season.
