UCLA Football: 3 bold predictions vs. USC in Week 15

USC and UCLA football will meet up a little later than usual to end the regular season. Will the Bruins pull off the upset of the No. 15 Trojans?

It’s Rivalry Week a little later than usual and USC and UCLA will meet up for that crosstown battle that college football fans look forward to from the Pac-12 every year.

The Bruins are coming off a big win over Arizona State last week while USC is the No. 15 team in the country with an undefeated record. It’s tough to name a Pac-12 team worthy of making a playoff push but the Trojans would be the only one that has a chance after Oregon has fallen off the map and Washington is surging slightly late.

UCLA is hoping to pull off the upset here, though.

The Bruins have won consecutive games after nearly upsetting Oregon and they’ve won three out of four. In fact, both of their losses this season have been by six points or less and they could easily be 5-0 right now instead of 3-2.

Will they beat USC on Saturday night?

3. Demetric Felton scores three total touchdowns

Demetric Felton has been a pleasant surprise for UCLA this season, rushing for 578 yards and five touchdowns through five games. On top of that, he has 112 receiving yards and a touchdown on 17 receptions. That’s not too shabby for a running back in his first year as a starter, replacing a 1,000-yard rusher in Joshua Kelley.

Much like Kelley did in his first season as a starter in this rivalry game, Felton is going to have himself quite the outing. He’s going to record three total touchdowns and over 150 all-purpose yards.

Felton is going to rush for a couple of touchdowns and add a receiving score to finish his senior year with nine total touchdowns and over 800 all-purpose yards in six games.
