Vs Arizona, Oct 20

The possibility of UCLA going 0-5 is real. The possibility of UCLA going 0-6, well there’s a little bit of relief when it comes to Arizona. The Wildcats are also in transition with a new coach and it doesn’t seem to be going as smoothly as everyone in Tucson has hoped. Arizona was expected to be in the top half of the South Division, but they are struggling right now as former potential Heisman candidate Khalil Tate is not really setting the world on fire.

On top of that, Arizona’s defense is just atrocious. If the Bruins ever had a chance to get their first win of the season it might be against Arizona. What adds to their hope is that the Wildcats don’t exactly do well at the Rose Bowl so here’s hoping they get that first W.

Possible Result: WIN

Vs Utah, Oct 26 (Friday)

And here we are with another Friday night game. Just perfect. Not only do the Bruins have a tough opponent coming back into the Rose Bowl, but trying to get to Pasadena on a Friday afternoon in Los Angeles traffic is going to be hell in and of itself. On top of that, Utah owns the Bruins in the last two contests in the Rose Bowl.

But aside from that Utah which has a few things they have to figure out, is still miles ahead of UCLA. It would be nice to say that the Bruins will be competitive in this game, but as of now it doesn’t seem likely

Possible Result: LOSS
