The UCLA Bruins have a clear shot to the Pac-12 championship game now that Stanford has lost a game and with the Cardinals hosting the team on Saturday at Stanford Stadium, they can push themselves farther away in the conference division race and the game will start up at 3:30 pm with coverage on Watch ESPN as well as on ABC or ESPN2 in some areas.
The Bruins have looked good once again with Jim Mora at the helm and quarterback Brett Hundley has been one of the main reasons why the offense has been so productive, averaging over 550 yards per game total. Hundley has over 1,400 passing yards this season with 12 touchdowns and ranks second on the team in rushing with three touchdowns and over 200 yards on the ground. The Pac-12 South division has the Bruins and Arizona State in the first two spots and Stanford now has to win out and hope that Oregon or Oregon State loses after they were upset by Utah. The Bruins have a game on the Sun Devils, while USC and Utah are 1-2 in the division this season and UCLA will be tested the next two weeks with Stanford and Oregon.
