I have several reasons why I think 14 points is a lock. #1- They beat Stanford 45-17. Stanford is better than Utah. #2 - Utah can't score. I've got to believe UCLA can score at least 21. #3- Utah can not stop the run. #4- UCLA will rush 6 or 7 every down and cause multiple sacks and turnovers. #5 UCLA's corners are good enough to cover Utah's All-American receivers in man coverage. BYU was able to beat the blitz by throwing to the tight ends. Utah doesn't use their tight ends very much. I suspect Utah will try a bunch of 5 wide sets and throw quick passes since they don't have a running back. Grady will get absolutely killed if he doesn't get rid of the ball quickly. Maybe Whit comes up with a great defensive plan like he has so many time in the past and holds UCLA to 17 points. I just don't think they have the personnel to do it. |

Even with Long their run defense sucked. He wouldn't have made a difference one way or the other come Saturday.

I don't know on the score, but I would bet on Utah and the points. 24-20 UCLA for a guess.

Where will the 20 points come from? They managed 12 against Air Force. Air Force is not really known for their stout defense. I think if Utah scores 20, it will have come from at least 2 defensive or special teams scores. The only way I could fathom Utah staying within 14 would be if they are +4 or 5 on turnovers. Olson did look perfectly capable of throwing a few picks, though.

One thing to think about with UCLA, 13 and 1 at home, they are 5 and 6 on the road and 1 and 1 on neutral field (bowl) games going back the past two years. UCLA is just not that good on the road.
LA will win 24 to 10 in an ugly game.

So, what was your prediction on the Utah-UNLV game?
