Know Your Opponent: UCLA Football vs. Arizona 2018
Prediction
UCLA’s win over California was not a fluke. Improvements have been exponentially made across the board and the game in Berkeley showed the nation what is to come for Chip Kelly and his Bruins.

The offense finally put together a complete game, the defense came alive and ate up an ailing Bears offense and special teams is helping out in their respective parts of the game..
Arizona might have some troubles, but like the Bruins, they are still growing. I would like to believe UCLA will smack around the Wildcats like they did the Golden Bears, but I am still cautiously optimistic. The Wildcats have some weapons on their squad that can surprise the Bruins if UCLA is not careful.
On the other hand, knowing what we know about UCLA against Cal and the troubles the Wildcats are going through, this seems like the perfect set up for another blowout at the hands of the Bruins.
Arizona takes a huge hit with the loss of Kahlil Tate and the fact that he was not playing up to the standards of last season says a lot about Arizona.
On a personal level, I see the progress UCLA is making and it will continue to this week against Arizona as the Bruins destroy the Cats at the Rose Bowl.
Prediction: UCLA 38 – Arizona 14
