36. Can WR Mossi Johnson be a factor?

Mossi is a receiver that many Bruin fans have been waiting to breakout. Can he step up this season or will he disappear from the depth chart?

37. JJ Molson’s sophomore tour

Molson was a highly touted kicker out of Canada who did not have the most successful first year. But now he has a season under his belt and should continue slamming balls for 40+ field goals.

38. Will Oregon be Oregon?

UCLA has not played Oregon in three seasons, which that was back when they were good. Will the Bruins run into a Ducks resurgence or UCLA quack all over Oregon?

39. No Thursday game, but 2 Fridays and a Sunday

Thank goodness UCLA does not have to play those annoying Thursday games. instead, they trade it in for two Fridays and a Sunday. Sure there will have short practice weeks, but what does it matter in a hot seat season?

40. Can the linebacker youth step up?

The Bruins have a lot of young guys at the linebacker position. The good news, they are all quite talented. Remember the names Breland Brandt, Krys Barnes and Mique Juarez.
