I will just come out and say it, the Bruins have all of the makings to be a great offense, and they have just been abysmal in 2019. Returning sophomore quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson was thought to have taken a step forward so he could lead the Bruins offense but has instead posted a sub 30 QBR rating in three games.

The Bruins have given up nine sacks and DTR has thrown 4 interceptions in just three games. That means the WSU defense is wide-eyed and ready for this UCLA team to come into town and feast on turnovers.

The most likely scenario on Saturday is the Cougars were able to pick off at least two passes with their seniors on the outside, helping put points on the board for the home crowd. We should see the Bruin offense struggle yet again and the defense for the Cougs really steal the show in front of a raucous crowd.
