UCLA preview: the Bruins defense

Well, here we are. It’s November. For the past few seasons, this time of year has Utah fans feeling a mix of hope and anxiety. “We’re bowl eligible already, but could we get to the Rose Bowl this year?” We scroll through our Instagram feeds, proud to see an @utahutes post reminding us that we’re ranked 21st in the CFP poll. We know that we haven’t been blowing teams out, but we’re winning gritty and that might be just enough to win the next four games.

Not this year.

Nope, this year we’re not playing for a ranking or a New Years’ Six Bowl Game- all we’ve got left to play for is pride (and that Jack Tuttle doesn’t de-commit).
