If UCLA wins out, the Bruins are headed to the Pac-12 Championship Game. Both UCLA and Utah are coming off extremely disappointing losses. UCLA at home vs Washington State, and Utah to Arizona in double overtime. Devontae Booker is out with a knee injury and is a huge blow for offense as Booker has been the heart and soul of the offense.
The defense will be fine, but the offense definitely tires out the defense come fourth quarter and that’s when Utah pulls away. With Booker out, I have to take UCLA, whose defense gets a huge break without one of the nation’s best backs out.
Although it’s in Salt Lake, and Utes will definitely have the advantage, I’d expect UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen to keep the Bruins division titles alive with a win.
