Washington State vs. UCLA Prediction
The Cougars will enter this game with a perfect 4-0 record on the season.
The Cougars were off last week but picked up a huge win the week prior over Oregon State at home.
The win forced the ranking committee to move up the Cougars to their present ranking at number 13.
Junior Cameron Ward leads the Cougs offense. Ward has thrown for 1,390 yards, 13 touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Additionally, Ward has rushed for three touchdowns.
Running back Nakia Watson leads the Cougs in rushing yards with 128 and two touchdowns.
The Cougars have three wide receivers that have 300 yards or more. Lincoln Victor leads the team with 342 receiving yards. Josh Kelly leads the Cougs with five touchdown receptions.
The Cougars defense allowed 35 points in Week 4 against Oregon State and will attempt to bounce back this weekend.
The Bruins enter play 3-1 but unranked after a Week 4 loss to Utah.
Freshman quarterback Dante Moore leads UCLA. Moore has thrown for 849 yards, eight touchdowns, and two interceptions.
Carson Steele leads the Bruins backfield. Steele, who is a transfer from Miami, Ohio has rushed for 272 yards and two touchdowns.
J. Michael Sturdivant has been the favorite target of Moore. The sophomore has racked up 279 yards and two touchdowns.
UCLA ranks eighth in college football, allowing opponents just 263.8 yards per game.
Washington State vs. UCLA Pick
UCLA matches up quite well with the Cougars.
In the Chip Kelly era, we have associated UCLA with their dynamic offense, but this UCLA team is one of the best defenses in college football.
They will be able to limit the production of the Cougars this weekend. On the flip side, Washington State has struggled on defense, and UCLA will be able to string together possesions and put up points.
This is a great bounce-back spot for the Bruins at home.
