9. vs Arizona State Sun Devils, Nov 11

Yes, ASU has been a thorn in Jim Mora’s side since both him and ASU Head Coach Todd Graham arrived in the Pac-12, but UCLA is in a better position to make something happen next season.

Also considering the fact that it was against Arizona State that Josh Rosen injured his shoulder and was out for the second half of 2016, the junior quarterback should be looking for some revenge against the Sun Devils at the Rose Bowl.

Arizona State might not be one of the strongest teams in the South Division, but when it comes to conference games, there is no gimme. UCLA needs to get a win against the Sun Devils because the rest of their schedule is a lot tougher.
