Hey look, teams that I've heard of and have actually watched play a game or two this season. Saturday night's prime time match up will have that UCLA Bruins (6-6) in one corner and the BYU Cougars (10-2) in the other. What better environment to have a bowl game where the sponsor could be providing the television you're watch the game on. The college football postseason is full of excitement!!The Bruins are coming off a disappointing season and have since fired coach Carl Dorrell. UCLA came in with a lot of expectation with returning quarterback Ben Olson and after defeating rival USC at home the previous season. The Bruins endured a roller coaster type year with such highs as defeating conference opponents Oregon (without Dennis Dixon) and Cal. However, the lows outweighed them with stunningly poor performances at Utah and being the first team to allow Notre Dame to win while playing them at home.
The Cougars on the other hand, managed to win their conference and came away with a non conference win against Pac 10 Arizona. BYU is solid all around and will have a better shot at defeating the Bruins on a neutral site. They'll have a better shot than they did when they played the Bruins in the Rose Bowl back on September 8th and lost 27-17. Expect a better performance this time around.
Pick: BYU 24 - UCLA 21
