UCLA is 3-6 on the season and will now head to Columbus, Ohio to face the number one team in the country in Ohio State. The Bruins three game winning streak is a thing of the past. As they have faltered the last two weeks versus Indiana and Nebraska. The defense struggled and the offense has become really bland. Leading to believe they have hit a wall of emotions riding high.

Things will not get easier the last three games of the season. It is very possible that Ohio State, Washington and USC will all be ranked opponents when UCLA plays them. They will be underdogs in all three games. More than likely leading to a 3-9 season with an at best of 4-8. Very disappointing and one that can’t come to an end soon enough to start a new era.

Now let’s look ahead to their upcoming opponent in Ohio State. They possess NFL players on offense and defense. They have a Heisman front runner in Julian Sayin, and they are the reigning champions for a reason. This team is really good and by far the best team in the country. Nebraska has a good defense, but Ohio State is on another level. Especially with an offensive line that is struggling to keep Nico Iamaleava protected, it could be a long day.

Offensively Ohio State can move the ball up and down the field. UCLA struggled to keep TJ Lateef and Emmett Johnson in check, now they will face an even better offense. It has the making of being a disaster on the field. This team will be playing for pride at this moment.

With three games left in the season, coaches and players have everything to look forward too. Whether it is coaching for another job or playing to hit the transfer portal. There will be opportunities for people. As there will be plenty of turnover coming within a months' time.
