OUR PREDICTION: UCLA lost its quarterback Josh Rosen for the season but backup Mike Fafaul has done a solid job in his place. The problem for UCLA has been its defense, but the Bruins shouldn’t have any issues moving the ball against one of the worst defenses in the nation. The Bears rank 127th in the nation in yards allowed, 127th in the nation in rushing yards allowed, 90th in passing yards allowed and 128th in points allowed. There’s a chance the Bruins will just go through the motions tonight, but they’re worth a dice roll.
