UCLA-Utah: A look at how the teams match up

UCLA tailback Joshua Kelley vs. the Utah run defense. Kelley has topped 100 yards rushing in four consecutive games, including against two of the Pac-12 Conference’s better defenses in Washington and California. This will be another challenge entirely. Utah ranks No. 1 nationally in run defense, giving up 74.6 yards a game. USC managed only 2.9 yards a carry last weekend against the Utes when adjusting for sacks.

UCLA (354 ypg/22.9 ppg): An underappreciated aspect of the Bruins’ revival has been their lack of turnovers. They have committed one in their last two games, coming on a fumble when Wilton Speight was sacked by Arizona.
