The beginning of the season has not been kind to the Washington State Cougars, who look to get their season back on track on Friday against the UCLA Bruins following a pair of losses in Hawaii in the Diamond Head Classic.
UCLA Bruins (-8.5, 133.5) vs. Washington State Cougars
UCLA enters having allowed just two of their 13 opponents this season to get to or exceed 70 points with both of those games coming in Las Vegas against ranked teams Illinois and Baylor as a part of the Main Event.
A low scoring game won't make Washington State feel uncomfortable as they have surrendered more than 70 points just three times in their 13 games this season and rank 332nd in the country in possessions per game.
