College Football Action with UCLA Bruins vs. BYU Cougars

[Shame About Ray]

The UCLA Bruins appear headed for good times after taking down the Tennessee Volunteers about a week ago in the Rose Bowl. UCLA looked fantastic on defense. Their freshman quarterback, Kevin Craft, shook off a terrible first half to settle down and put the Bruins into position to win. Yet, it took Tennessee to miss a field goal in overtime for the Bruins to secure the victory.

UCLA faces a much tougher task this weekend when they travel to Provo, Utah to take on the mighty BYU Cougars. Did I say mighty? Why, yes, I did.

The Cougars have won 18 games in a row. That’s the longest winning streak in college football. For college football betting fans, the Cougars have been a dynamite online wager for a very long time.

Of course, the Cougars’ streak was in jeopardy this past Saturday when they needed a ridiculous call from the referees to help them secure a victory. The refs threw the flag on the Washington Huskies, after the Huskies had gotten a last second touchdown, for “excessive celebrating”. That pushed the Huskies back for their extra point try that would have tied the score but, wouldn’t you know it, the damn kicker missed the extra point.

So, the Cougars ended up winning the game. Things could be tougher for the Cougars this Saturday with UCLA coming into town. Then again, the magic that Kevin Craft displayed in the second half of the Bruins’ victory over the Volunteers might not be there in Provo.

Here are the BetUS online betting odds for this game.
