UCLA might have saved its coach with their second half effort last week.
Arizona looked sharp in a home non-conference win over a Big 12 opponent.

Which performance was most indicative of the calibre of each team. We are about to find out.
UCLA Bruins
Last week it looked like UCLA was heading for an 0-4 start but then something happened up in Pullman. Somehow, despite being down 32 points in the fourth quarter they won the game.
Not only was it a comeback but an upset of significant proportion. UCLA was supposed to just roll over and lose the game.
The 67 points the Bruins scored was more than they had scored in their three previous games combined and hopefully it means they have finally found something on offense. There is talent there.
The defense still has to be a concern though Arizona does not throw the ball like the Cougars do. Statistically UCLA has one of the worst defenses in the nation.

Given what happened last week being on the road again does not seem like too bad a spot for UCLA. They might have a little momentum coming into this one.
Arizona Wildcats
Arizona’s win last week fell under the radar with UCLA’s upset against Wazzu and the Trojans also getting a big win against Utah. Still Arizona won as a small dog against Texas Tech.
The thing I really liked seeing was Kahlil Tate running the ball again. He had more than 100 yards on the ground and a TD. That aspect of their offense is the most dangerous.
Arizona can have a nice offense with Tate but their defense might be better than expected to. They only gave up 14 points to Texas Tech. They might not be the TT of old but that was still impressive.
Arizona needs to get off to a good start in this one. They are at home and they need to punch UCLA in the mouth so the momentum from last week does not carry over too much. That hook is not very inviting.

Free Week 5 NCAA Football Pick
I like Arizona to win this one a lot, so does the market too as it has gone from 6.5 to 7.5. That is always a strong sign.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Arizona -7.5
I think it is going to be very hard for UCLA to sustain what they had last week and chasing Tate around is exhausting, physically and mentally.
Also, I like that Arizona defense to be able to take apart what the Bruins did last week and game plan a little better for them.
