It might seem a little early in the season for desperate hours, but that’s where UCLA will find itself Saturday afternoon.
If the Bruins want to do anything special this season, they must beat Washington State at the Rose Bowl.
A win against the No. 13 Cougars (4-0 overall, 1-0 Pac-12) would considerably ease the sting of UCLA’s seven-point clunker against Utah. It also would sustain hopes that the Bruins (3-1, 0-1) can end their season somewhere besides another uninspiring bowl game.
