2. UCLA comes up big on offense

Ok, so we have established that the Bruins are very bad on defense but on the offensive side of the ball, there’s a very different story. In case you’ve been living under a rock, UCLA is led by lethal Josh Rosen at quarterback.

Currently, Rosen is ranked second in the country in passing yards at 2,620 yards. Scoring wise, he is ranked eighth with a total of 19 touchdown passes. As if this weren’t bad enough, Washington is in trouble defensively.

The UCLA Bruins are getting ready to take on a Washington secondary that will be putting a former running back along with three true freshmen on the field to try and stop Rosen. Needless to say, I don’t think this is the ideal situation for the Huskies.

It is ideal for UCLA though. As much as they may have struggled on the road, this could very well be the mismatch that lets the Bruins finally get a win away from home. For my second prediction, I say that UCLA will get in a close shootout with the Huskies. Who comes out on top though?
