Charlie Brewer was one of the best transfer additions in college football this offseason and Kyle Whittingham deserves all the praise for landing him. He will be a serious upgrade over Jake Bentley.

The Utes are going to be one of the contenders in the Pac-12, so this really caps off a tough stretch in conference play. This will be a third straight loss for the Bruins but they have a bye week to prepare for a revenge game.

Final Score: UCLA 20, Utah 28 (5-4, 3-3)

Revenge is best served in mid-November. That’s what they always say, right?

Colorado beat the Bruins to start the shortened 2020 season but that won’t happen again and Chip Kelly will make sure of it. The Buffaloes don’t have the firepower outside of Jared Broussard to keep up with the Bruins and this one won’t be as close as the final score leads you to believe.

I think Colorado will take a couple of steps back this season after a surprisingly solid first year under Karl Dorrell. The Bruins will be bowl-bound.

Final Score: Colorado 21, UCLA 35 (6-4, 4-3)
