Washington vs UCLA Prediction
Last time out, Washington got their conference schedule started with an easy 40-22 home win over Stanford. The Huskies scored the first 17 points of the game and led 17-7 at the half. Washington scored the only 13 points of the third quarter to take a dominant 30-7 lead into the final quarter. Stanford scored 15 unanswered, and useless, points in the fourth quarter to make the final score appear closer than the game was. Michael Penix Jr. went 22/37 for 309 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions on the night. Wayne Taulapapa ran the ball 13 times for 120 yards, a 9.2 average, and one touchdown in the win. Rome Odunze went off with eight receptions for 161 yards, a 20.1 average, and one touchdown for the Huskies. Defensively, Washington allowed 372 total yards and forced three Stanford turnovers, one interception and two recovered fumbles.
UCLA began their conference slate with a dominant 45-17 win at Colorado. The Bruins took advantage of playing the worst team in the FBS and cruised to a conference-opening win. UCLA led 14-0 after the fist quarter and 21-10 at the half. The Bruins scored 24 unanswered points in the second half to pull away and get the blowout win. Dorian Thompson-Robinson went 19/23 for 234 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions on the day. Zach Charbonnet had himself a day as he ran the ball just nine times for 104 yards, an 11.6 average, and two touchdowns in the win. Defensively, UCLA allowed 309 total yards and forced two Colorado turnovers, one interception and one recovered fumble.
Series History: UCLA won the meeting last season and lead the all-time series 40-33-2.
Picks:ย UCLA is unbeaten, but they have looked vulnerable. Without any home field advantage, plus the shaky play, I am going to take Washington on the road in this one.
