UCLA wins if: Thompson-Robinson and the offense, knowing LSU will look to stop the run, finds a way to get the ball moving with the passing game while avoiding the Tigers’ cornerbacks. … Receiver Kyle Philips and tight end Greg Dulcich are active in the game plan with routes through the middle of the field.
Prediction
LSU 24, UCLA 21
