California is coming off a much needed bye after a poor showing against the two toughest teams on their schedule. The Golden Bears were trounced on the road by Oregon 42-3 and the following week at home to the USC Trojans 30-3. The word is out on how to defend California. Teams who stack the line and contain Jahvid Best have a shot to beat California. The junior running back has just 102 yards on 30 rushing attempts the past two weeks as both Oregon and USC have stacked the line and took Best out of the game. Junior quarterback Kevin Riley is only completing 51% of his passes this season with 5 touchdowns and 1 interception. He couldn’t complete 40% of his passes against Oregon and Cal. The Golden Bears defense was shredded the past two weeks giving up 524 yards to Oregon and 457 to the USC Trojans. The UCLA Bruins are 3-2 on the season coming off two straight losses. The team could only muster 16 points at Stanford and 10 the week later home to Oregon. The running game for the Bruins has headed south with just 95 yards on 26 carries against Stanford and a miserable 66 yards on 33 carries against Oregon. Defensively the team has been good against the pass but has been run on the past two games. Freshman Bruins quarterback Kevin Prince will get the start despite a 13 for 25 performance for 81 yards last week home to Oregon. The freshman is hitting on 54% of his money this season with 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions on the season. The Bruins are 9th in the Pac 10 in total offense producing just 282 yards per game and a miserable 4.5 yards per play average. The team has only passed for 3 touchdowns, which is last 115th in the nation.
