UCLA's porous run game may catch a break against California's porous run defense

It could be the feast after the feast.

The question is, who might be getting devoured two days after Thanksgiving?

UCLA’s rushing offense ranks second to last among Football Bowl Subdivision teams, the same lowly standing held by California’s run defense heading into the regular-season finale for both teams Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Berkeley.

The numbers are equally pitiful. The Bruins average 84.3 yards rushing per game and have not had one ballcarrier top 100 yards in a game this season. The Golden Bears give up an average of 290.1 yards rushing per game and were trampled by Stanford for 357 yards last weekend.
