5 Bold Predictions for USC-UCLA

UCLA — The UCLA Bruins and USC Trojans have somewhat of a crosstown rivalry and this matchup will help one of these teams reach its goal this season: playing for a Pac-12 title. This game might not seem like a big one, but the winner is in the driver's seat in the Pac-12 South with one game remaining.

Let's take a look at five bold predictions for this primetime matchup.

Cody Kessler Will Keep USC Alive

Cody Kessler Will Keep USC Alive

Cody Kessler — As one of the premier quarterbacks in college football, this is the kind of game Kessler thrives in. Not only will he keep this game within one score throughout, he will also prove to the nation that he can play with any team in the country.

Brett Hundley WIll Have a 250/100-Yard Game

Brett Hundley WIll Have a 250/100-Yard Game

Brett Hundley — Brett Hundley has been solid all season long, but this will arguably end up being his best game. The junior dual-threat will pass for 250 yards and three scores while running for another 100 yards.

Javorius Allen Will Rack Up 200 Total Yards

Javorius Allen — I did say Cody Kessler would keep the Trojans in this game, but don't forget about Javorius Allen, too. The running back has been as dynamic as anyone in the nation this year and he's a big threat because of his pass-catching ability. Expect him to rack up about 130 rushing yards and 70 receiving yards.

Game Will Come Down to Final Seconds

USC — The Trojans may not be one of the top teams in the nation, but they are still a force to be reckoned with because of their balanced attack. It seems like it will catch UCLA by surprise and the game will come down to the final seconds, ending on a field goal.

UCLA Wins, Nearly Ensures Pac-12 Title Game Berth

UCLA Wins, Nearly Ensures Pac-12 Title Game Berth

UCLA — Sure, you could say a win would ensure a Pac-12 title game berth for sure given that there is just one game left in the season. However, Stanford still remains on the schedule and it's no pushover. The Bruins will win this one and 'nearly' ensure that they will have a spot in the title game against Oregon.
