The Bruins may have some first game slop, as a lot of teams do, but they have chosen a good opponent to muddle through that against. Bowling Green is making the three time zone road trip to collect a paycheck, but they will pay for it on the field. The Falcons are likely to spend much of the season in Tom Fornelli's Bottom 25 and should be no match for UCLA under any circumstance.

USC has received all of the love in the Pac-12, and you know UCLA coach Chip Kelly has heard all of it. He will want to come out and make a statement against one of the worst teams in college football, and has the weapons to do it. Quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson is as dynamic as they get, running back Zach Charbonnet is a future NFL stud and the defensive line is one of the best in the conference. Kelly will run up the score in a BIG way.
