Let’s rewind back to late August. Coming into the 2017 season I didn’t think this UCLA Football team was going to be great. I did think they’d be much better than they’ve showed this season and put their ceiling at potentially eight games. Boy was I wrong. The Bruins have been absolutely abysmal against the run, have had their playmakers picked off one by one at the hands of injury ninjas and recently dealt with a little bit of a scandal.
Arizona State on the other hand received low expectations from me. I had plenty of trouble seeing how they’d be able to muster more than a handful of wins.
