The Utes have a remarkable and prolific defense - giving up just 12/game - and is based on the strength of their stud DE Bradlee Anae, and brilliant pass coverage. Defense is the engine for everything the team does. Anae has carried most of the load on the line for Utah this season, taking on 8 sacks - the DE and their DBs will make the plays all game long.


UCLA popped off for a ridiculous 67 points once this year, and less than 20 points four other times. I cannot trust their offense - it is far too inconsistent for me. Utah is in constant motion across the board - and I don't expect UCLA to put too much on the Utes QB. And, the D of Utah will trap QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who gets rattled easily. Utah way too much.


The Bruins will struggle against this tough Utah defense and I look for a major blowout in this one on Saturday night!
