5. Arizona Wildcats | Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA | Sat, Oct. 20

Let’s face it, Arizona smacked the Bruins last season. Josh Rosen fell short in leading the offense while the defense did an even worse job in the against dual-threat quarterback Khalil Tate.

Tate ran all over the Bruins, finding every available hole to run through as he led Arizona to 457 rushing yards over UCLA.

The good news is, the Bruins’ defense will be a lot more aggressive this season and they will have been going against a dual-threat running offense all season, so they will be a lot more prepared for Tate’s antics.

But they also have to be prepared for the spread offense that Kevin Sumlin and Noel Mazzone are bringing from Texas A&M. Sumlin is a good coach and should keep the Wildcats competitive, so UCLA better not let their guard down.
