It’s not exactly a fall classic
Two first-year-on-the-job coaches, two struggling football teams. Someone will feel a little better. What to look for in tonight’s game:
Big O or little d: UCLA’s newfound running game faces a defense that’s about as bad as it gets.
Quite a spread: Bruins, outscored 90-10 in two of their losses, are a big favorite in this one.
Game time: Washington State will try to repeat the ball control it enjoyed in last year’s victory over UCLA.
The quarterbacks: Bruins junior Kevin Craft, in his fifth game as starter, is the wily veteran in this game.
Storm warnings: Cougars can always pray for rain -- and they might get it.
History lesson: Washington State is right at home at the Rose Bowl.
