After a great weekend of college football, things cool down as we roll into Week 4 of the college football season. Nothing too shocking occurred. Alabama stayed perfect, Texas A&M rolled, and Lamar Jackson potentially locked up the Heisman in Week 3. Okay, maybe not yet, but 18 touchdowns in three weeks is insane.

This weeks slate of games isn’t as impressive but there are still some match ups that are rather intriguing:

Georgia vs. Ole Miss

Wisconsin vs. Michigan State

Florida vs. Tennessee

Stanford vs. UCLA

All of these games feature either a great match up or a great player ready to explode. As conference play begins and college football continues to entertain, here are 5 bold predictions for Week 4 of the college football season.

5. Christian McCaffrey has 300 total yards against UCLA

After rushing for over 2,000 yards last season as a sophomore, Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey has already started his third year off with a bang. He has run for over 120 yards in each of his first two games and has also been a threat out of the backfield in the passing game.

Last year, Christian McCaffrey ran for 243 yards and 4 touchdowns against UCLA. If they couldn’t stop him last year there isn’t much that UCLA will be able to do about McCaffrey this year. What makes McCaffrey so dangerous is more than just his amazing rushing ability. His vision on the field is some of the best that you will see. He is threat running the ball, he is a threat in the pass game and he is also a huge threat in the return game. Last year he had over 1000 yards in kick return yards and a touchdown. McCaffrey is so versatile that UCLA will be running all over the field trying to stop him.

If the game goes anything like last year, Stanford and McCaffrey will have an easy time beating up on UCLA and McCaffrey will have a good chance to pad his stats as he continues his quest for the Heisman. The trophy that he should have taken home last year.
