00:03 - Scott, next game up, we are heading to,
00:06 what, the Pac-12 Conference of Champions again
00:08 with UCLA and Washington State, 25 to 17.
00:12 That was the Bruins on top of the Cougars.
00:15 This is a game I lost some money on, Scott,
00:17 so this is a tough one for me, as I bet Washington State.
00:21 UCLA finds a way to win.
00:23 Did you take anything away from the Rose Bowl on Saturday?
00:26 - Yeah, again, not money, me too.
00:29 I had Washington State, too, plus the 3 1/2.
00:32 We were leading, I'll say we, 17-12,
00:34 entering the fourth quarter, looking pretty good.
00:36 We can give up a touchdown, right?
00:38 Even if they go for two, it's only 20 to 17.
00:41 We got the hook.
00:42 Eh, 25-17 final.
00:45 UCLA finds a way to win by eight.
00:47 Thank you very much.
00:48 I'll tell you what, you think of Chip Kelly, right?
00:51 It's offense, offense, offense.
00:53 Well, UCLA's defense, Drew,
00:56 has yet to give up more than 17 points in five games.
01:01 They've only given up, in those five games, 61 points.
01:06 That's pretty darn good.
01:07 They forced four turnovers.
01:10 You know, Washington State went three and out,
01:11 eight of its 16 possessions.
01:14 They had the four turnovers.
01:16 Only held, only had 216 yards total offense.
01:20 Cameron Ward, the good quarterback that they have,
01:24 underrated and heralded,
01:25 but did have his first two interceptions on the season.
01:29 Only was 19 of 39 for 197 yards and a touchdown.
01:34 You know, we were looking for teams before
01:35 with a USC schedule, right?
01:37 Playing good defensive teams
01:39 and a team that's got a halfway decent offense.
01:41 Dante Moore, you know, this would be another one.
01:43 The USC schedule, the rest of the way,
01:45 is just unbelievably tough.
01:46 So, UCLA, four and one, three and two against the spread.
01:51 Dante Moore picked six for the second straight game.
01:54 So, a little bit of concern
01:55 with the rookie quarterback there for the Bruins,
01:58 but they get the victory as Ward would stop
02:02 on fourth and short with about a minute and a half left
02:04 as they were hoping to go for the tying touchdown
02:07 and two point conversion.
02:08 So, next up for UCLA, number 15, Oregon State.
02:12 One of a number of key matchups in the Pac-12.
