7 TONIGHT CAL STATE FULLERTON

This might be a rare instance in which the lower-ranked team is the favorite. After all, Servite looks strong after four consecutive victories to open the season, while Edison has appeared sluggish in victory and defeat. The Chargers were humiliated last week in a 42-10 loss to top-ranked Mater Dei. But in fairness to Edison, running back Darryl Poston has been hampered by injuries all season. Charger Coach Dave White said Poston was only 85% for last week’s game. Edison will need him at full strength against a Servite defense that is giving up only 14 points per game.

Ben Bolch

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
