UCLA is 3-0 on the year, but after crushing their first two opponents, they needed a FG from Nicholas Barr-Mira as time expired to beat South Alabama by a score of 32-31. the Bruins were favored by 16 points in the contest, so it was a shocker that they needed the late FG to win it. The Bruins have just eight starters back from a team that went 8-4 last year, but still, many feel they will be a factor in the PAC-12 this year.
With Six starters back on offense, the Bruins have been very strong on that side of the ball so far. They enter this game ranked 17th in total offense and 28th in scoring, putting up a healthy 40.7 ppg so far. The Bruins racked up 407 yards of total offense against the Jaguars, including 263 yards through the air. Dorian Thompson-Robinson threw for those 263 yards and he had three TD passes with no INT. He is in his 5th year of action and he has thrown for 662 yards with six TD s and just one INT on the year.
The Bruins are 25th in the nation in passing and 33rd in rushing, so they do have a balanced offense. The run game could be key here as the Buffaloes have not been able to stop the run at all so far. The defense has been no slouch either as the Bruins come in ranked 30th in total yards allowed, 45th against the pass, 40th against the run, and 41st in points allowed, giving up just 18.3 ppg. Those are solid numbers for a team that has just two starters back on that side of the ball. UCLA allowed 399 yards to South Alabama, but they will be facing once of the worst offensive teams in the nation in this one.
