A rivalry game awaits here on Nov. 20 and if it’s anything like the last few years, the Bruins are going to give Clay Helton and the Trojans all they can handle.

Kedon Slovis is one of the best quarterbacks in the country but the Bruins will find a way to make sure he has a long night on Nov. 20. This will be a close battle throughout but the Trojans get the win on a last-second field goal in an instant classic.

Good thing UCLA already reached bowl eligibility because this might be a back-breaking loss otherwise.

Final Score: UCLA 24, USC 27 (6-5, 4-4)

Coming off a tough rivalry loss, many would expect UCLA to fold it up and just prepare for bowl season, but Chip Kelly and the Bruins are too good for that.

Cal might be a program on the rise, but the Golden Bears have a new defensive coordinator in place and won’t be quite the threat this season. UCLA will pick up a nice seventh win here by two scores, ending the regular season on a high note.

Final Score: Cal 17, UCLA 30 (7-5, 5-4)
