Pitt vs. UCLA: Who has the advantage in the 2022 Sun Bowl?

Pitt's 2022 season concludes with perhaps the toughest matchup it will see in the 2022 season.

The 18th-ranked UCLA Bruins bring pop on offense and an NFL-style defensive front to the Panthers' eyes on Friday at 2 p.m. in the Sun Bowl, in a matchup which is laden with NFL-caliber talent and one which could vault the Panthers back into a top-25 ranking with a victory.

A win for UCLA (9-3, 6-3 Pac-12) would give Chip Kelly his first 10-win season in his five years as the Bruins' head coach. He won 10 or more games in each of his four seasons at Oregon before taking the step to the NFL and the Philadelphia Eagles for three seasons (26-21 record) and the San Francisco 49ers for a forgettable 2-14 mark in 2016.
