UCLA Bruins Game Notes
Dante Moore completed 14 of 33 passes for 165 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions during Saturday’s 36-24 defeat against Oregon State. He also had nine rushes for 15 yards. UCLA’s offense fell victim to Moore’s inexperience again on Saturday, as the freshman proved venerable to Oregon State’s imposing secondary. Moore has depended on his defense to counteract any offensive shortcomings, but they faltered against the Beavers and exposed Moore’s inability to keep pace. Chip Kelly will probably continue with Moore under center, but the passing game will continue to suffer as a result.
Stanford Cardinal Game Notes
Ashton Daniels was 27-for-45 passing for 396 yards and four touchdowns during Friday’s 46-43 overtime win against Colorado. He also had 16 rushes for 39 yards. Although the timeshare continued between Daniels and Justin Lamson, Daniels spurred a record-breaking comeback with an excellent second half. Daniels and his offense exploited Colorado’s complacent defense for the unlikely overtime win. Despite Daniels’ scintillating performance, we should still see Lamson’s participation.

UCLA vs. Stanford Betting Prediction
Take UCLA. Public bettors are backing the Cardinal because they just saw Stanford rally to beat Colorado last Friday night. They look at the 17.5 points as a gift but it won’t be enough. Colorado doesn’t have a defense. How else does a putrid Stanford offense rally like that to win a game it was being blown out? UCLA will take control of this game from the outset and cruise to a three touchdown-plus win.
