The game of the week in the Pac-12 comes on a Friday as the Washington Huskies travel away from Seattle for the first time this year to battle the Bruins of UCLA.
With major Pac-12 ramifications on the line, there’s a reason the game is far more important for the UCLA Bruins in Year 5 under Chip Kelly.
On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I’m joined by ‘Locked On Bruins’ host Zach Anderson-Yoxsimer.
Together, we look at the factors that will ultimately decide the game, including why it’s paramount that UCLA get pressure on Washington QB Michael Penix if they’re going to be the team that emerges 5-0.
The Husky offense has been electric in each of their four games this season, with a passing-centric attack that has been well over 300 yards per game.
UCLA’s defense, especially the secondary, will have to be able to make a couple of plays to help the Bruins hang around.
But RB Zach Charbonnet and the running game might be the best way to slow down Washington’s prolific offense.
