5. at Utah Utes, Nov 3

A game against Utah is always tough and even though UCLA has been successful in Salt Lake City the last two games, it doesn’t guarantee that they’re going to walk out with a victory on this Friday night game which takes place in early November. Brrr.

Utah is always a tough game for the Bruins and should be tougher this season as they are projected to have a better finish in the Pac-12 than UCLA by several analysts. Now that is only speculation, considering what Utah did to UCLA last season, the Bruins need to have their best game when they face the Utes.

If both teams are fairly successful by the time they meet, this game could have Pac-12 championship implications.
