Now, I’m a huge supporter of Herm Edwards and what he stands for. He leads the Sun Devils with integrity and care for his players. We saw glimpses of his brilliance last season when his team knocked off Michigan State, who at the time, was ranked No. 15 (which was predicted beforehand by yours truly). Edwards has been known to find big wins throughout his career.

However, with UCLA returning back home from their trip up to Stanford, the Bruins will be filled with confidence and belief in themselves.

Arizona State, who went 7-6 last season, will be missing their top wide receiver, N’Keal Harry. His presence on the field over the past three seasons led to a ton of production that the Sun Devils could consistently rely upon. Without him, Edwards’ team will have significant struggles on offense.

As UCLA wins this game, they will move one step closer to the Pac-12 Championship and start to be feared by the rest of the conference.

Final: Arizona State 13, UCLA 42 (6-2, 4-1)
