UCLA vs Stanford Game Preview


Why UCLA Will Win

Stanford’s defense isn’t doing enough to get into the backfield.

It didn’t have to do too much to get by Vanderbilt, but overall it’s an issue that the pass rush isn’t there and there’s not enough disruption to matter. It also doesn’t help for a run defense that’s giving up yards in chunks.

The Bruins might be the best in the Pac-12 at generating a pass rush, but Vanderbilt ran for 247 yards last week and averaged 5.6 yards per carry. That came a week after USC averaged 5.6 yards per run, and that came a week after Kansas State rolled for 6.5 yards per carry with three scores.

UCLA RB Zach Charbonnet is averaging 10.5 yards per carry with six scores. He and Brittain Brown will take over for big, big yards.

Why Stanford Will Win

So what went wrong? How did UCLA go from being America’s darling after beating LSU to being totally unable to lock down late in the loss to Fresno State?

The pass defense is a problem.

It got hit hard by LSU, and two weeks later it was Jake Haener who went off, throwing for 455 yards including the amazing game-winning comeback drive in the final moments.

Stanford’s offense struggled in the opener against Kansas State, and then Tanner McKee took over the full-time quarterbacking gig. Now on the year he has hit 71% of his throws averaging over eight yards per pass with five scores and no picks.

He’s going to bomb away against the Bruins as long as the line can give him the time.

What’s Going To Happen

So what do you like better, the Stanford passing game or the UCLA ground attack?

UCLA’s defense might have a whole slew of flaws, but credit Haener and Fresno State for getting the win last week with brilliant play – the Bruins should be far stronger in this.

The offense still worked last week, and it’ll do just enough on the ground to overcome a massive day from McKee and the Cardinal passing game.

It’ll be fun.

Why UCLA Will Win

The Bruins have found ways to win both by speeding up and by getting into a defensive battle. They like to crank up the offense, be aggressive and get to the free throw line, but they were able to get by Cal in a 61-57 fight a few days ago with a good day from the D.

It’s been a simple formula – hit the threes, keep the ball moving to get the open shots, don’t foul, get fouled, hit the free throws, repeat.

On the flip side, Stanford doesn’t hit enough from the outside, turned it over way too much, and it’s struggling to get the O going over the last few games, but …

Why Stanford Will Win

The Cardinal might not have the offense, but it’s a rested team after its game against USC was postponed – the fresh legs helps the overall style. This is a defensive-oriented team that’s great at creating mistakes off of its pressure, and it wants to keep the score low if possible.

UCLA doesn’t have enough of an inside presence to matter – it doesn’t block a lot of shots – and it’s not able to force enough mistakes on the outside to come up with easy points. However …

What’s Going To Happen

Stanford will want to grind this down, but can it keep up when UCLA goes on a run?

This is a balanced Bruin team with six players averaging double-digit scoring, Stanford is a bit short-handed, and most of all, the firepower isn’t there from the Cardinal O to come back in the second half.
