Previewing UCLA and Stanford: Q&A with Bruins Nation
Stanford faces UCLA this Saturday in Stanford's second conference game of the season. Number 7/6 Stanford (2-0, 1-0) will travel to Los Angeles to take on UCLA (2-1, 0-0) at the Rose Bowl. UCLA was picked to win the Pac-12 South in this year's preseason media poll (with USC a close second), and it began the season ranked #16. But UCLA dropped a tough game on the road in overtime against Texas A&M (which was unranked at the time, but is now ranked #10/#13). Over the past two weeks, UCLA bounced back with wins against UNLV and BYU. Those wins haven't been sufficient to return UCLA to the top 25, though UCLA received votes in both the AP and Coaches' polls.
