41. Will home be a sweet home?

For what ever reason, the Rose Bowl has not been a very advantageous place to play. Still, UCLA has to win every home game and needs to make it a place that opponents fear entering. Yes, I did actuingally write that.

42. Will playing in Tucson be tough?

Playing in Tucson is always a pain for UCLA, but this Arizona team has fallen in the last few seasons. The Bruins need to avoid getting trapped in Arizona and just beat the snot out of the Wildcats, as they should every year.

43. Tough September

UCLA has five games in September which include vs Texas A&M, at Memphis, at Stanford and home against Colorado. GJB has predicted they will start 3-0, but could they be 3-2 by October?

44. Nate Meadors, the corner of your nightmares

Meadors has been very exciting to watch in recent seasons and 2017 could be the one where he gets everyone’s attention. I would not be surprised to see this Bruins name on a few post-season award lists, especially by the conference.

45. Preseason Pac-12 perception

When Pac-12 Media Day roles around, will UCLA be favored to win the South Divsion? No, that will be USC. So how about 2nd place? No, that’s probably Utah. So where will UCLA stand?
