This is the third installment of Pick-Six, a group of notes about UCLA football and its upcoming matchup.
1) I’m sorry, but I have to start with a statistic that shows just how poor the UCLA defense is.
Thus far, the Bruins are allowing 43.2 points a game and 524.8 yards per game. Defensive coordinator Tom Bradley’s corps has been one of the worst in the nation thus far, and the worst UCLA defense in the previous two decades.
The Bruins have never surrendered an average of more than 35 points in a season since 2000, nor have they allowed anywhere near to 500 yards across an entire year in that same time span.
