Arizona State has one of the best run games and quarterbacks in the entire conference so I don’t see the offense having too many problems, but with all the off-field issues going on in Tempe, I think there will be a slight black cloud hanging over Herm Edwards all year.

Defensively, the Sun Devils are going to have a tough time slowing down the UCLA offense as it’ll start the season on fire, outside of the LSU loss.

This is going to be a fun one, though, as two of the league’s best quarterbacks and offenses go back-and-forth for four quarters.

Final Score: Arizona State 23, UCLA 31 (4-1, 2-0)

Let’s face it, Arizona is going to be a punching bag in the Pac-12 all season long.

Jedd Fisch may eventually turn this program around, but he takes over in a bad place after the Wildcats went 0-5 last season which included a 17-point loss to UCLA and a 70-7 defeat against Arizona State to end the year.

Final Score: UCLA 49, Arizona 18 (5-1, 3-0)
