The UCLA Bruins and Virginia Cavaliers are playing live on the college football schedule on Saturday and the matchup is live on ESPN and the WatchESPN website at 12 pm noon ET and comes from Scott Stadium as the Pac-12 and ACC match up to open the year and this has Brett Hundley looking to open strong and the Bruins could be a conference champ if they play well this season.
The Bruins come into the season ranked in the top 10 and they have the chance for a big year after the way they played last season and they have a legit Heisman candidate in Hundley. UCLA has made its way back after some tough years and Hundley led the team in passing yards and rushing yards, with over 3,000 in the air and 748 on the ground and he should be one of the top players in the Pac-12 this year.
Last year the Bruins went 10-3 on the season and they were 6-3 on the conference schedule and they went 4-1 in their own division and now they are one of the top teams in the nation and Oregon is going to be a tough team in the conference as well. The two teams play later in the season and after opening with Virginia, the team has Memphis and then a big game with Texas and that should be a major draw and will be at a neutral location.
Arizona State is next on the schedule and that is always a tough place to play on the road and that opens a big stretch for the team with Utah and Oregon at home. UCLA is in the top 10 to start the season and the Ducks are in the top three and they should be very good, as Marcus Mariota is back and he has the chance to be a Heisman candidate this season.
The rest of the schedule is very tough based on how the team are coming into the season, as the Bruins have a stretch of three road games in four matchups with Cal and Colorado on the road before returning home to play Arizona. The team then has a ranked team with Washington at number 25 coming into the season and they will finish with USC as the second to last game and they are ranked 15th. The team then ends the season with Stanford and that will be at home and that is another big matchup, as the team is ranked 11th in the nation coming into the season.
