UCLA at No. 18 BYU (minus 8.5)

BYU’s last defeat was to UCLA 27-17 last season. UCLA leads the series 7-2.

This game features some talented players, but the names of the heads coaches steal the show. UCLA’s Rick Neuheisel and BYU’s Bronco Mendenhall have some of the better names in football. Neuheisel is just fun to say and what other profession could Bronco Mendenhall have with his name? Could he have been an accountant? I don’t think so. Bronco bucks Rick.

BYU 28, UCLA 24
