Arizona State vs UCLA Game Preview


Why Arizona State Will Win

The talent is there to come up with a big offensive performance against a UCLA D that’s good, but will give up yards.

The Sun Devils overcame the loss at BYU with a solid 35-13 at Colorado, with Jayden Daniels and the passing game taking over and the D dominating the struggling Buff attack.

ASU is moving the chains, the secondary has been strong, and the lines are good enough to hold up against the suddenly physical Bruins.

It’ll be a fun late night game with both offense trading shots, but the ASU running game will be held to a stop, UCLA will be balanced, and penalties will play a huge role.

The Sun Devils are getting crushed by flags – close to 11 per game. Those will matter.
