UCLA vs. Oregon prediction
A couple of the most electric offenses in the country meet on Saturday afternoon in Eugene, and I’m expecting this one to live up to the hype. The Ducks are a top-20 offense in terms of points per game nationally, averaging over 35 per game against FBS competition — yes, that tosses out the 84 points against Portland State. We saw zero regression when Dylan Raiola stepped in for Dante Moore prior to the bye week at USC. The offense might have even improved when the former Nebraska QB stepped in, and the Ducks now have had a bye week to continue to grow the offense around the most capable backup QB in the country.
UCLA has been even better offensively, thanks to Bob Chesney at the helm. The Bruins are averaging 44.8 points per game, and have gone for 52 and 54 points in their first two Big Ten games against Purdue and Maryland. Obviously, this is a step up in competition going to Oregon, but this is also the best offense the Ducks have seen.
Make no mistake about it, Oregon has struggled on the defensive side of the ball. The Ducks rank just inside of the top-100 with 31 points per game allowed to FBS competition. That includes 27 points to USC and Boise State, along with 39 points in the loss at Oklahoma State — and you could argue those teams left points on the table.
UCLA ranks second nationally in rushing yards per game at 281.5, behind only West Virginia. That matchup should present a problem for an Oregon defense that’s been very average defending the run. The Bruins have no problem getting into a shootout, though, and we saw them give up 38 points to Purdue recently in conference play.
Both teams enter Week 6 off a bye, so they should be healthy, fresh and have plenty of offense schemed up for this one. I’ll back the total to go over in what should be an exciting shootout.
