KEY STATS AND ANALYSIS

So far, the Bruins are averaging 39.62 points per game on offense, which is good for 11th most
in college football. This should be a good matchup for the Bruins as Arizona State is giving up
28.75 points per game and has its problems getting off the field on 3rd down.

One aspect of the game that could benefit a UCLA offense that struggles to generate big plays
in the passing attack, is that they are facing off an Arizona State defense that has yet to
generate a lot of pressure on opposing quarterbacks. So far, the Sun Devils are just 158th in
sacks per game.

On the ground, the UCLA offense is averaging 222.38 yards per game, good for 13th in the
country. This has come while ranking 47th in attempts at 38.25 per game. This week, the Bruins
will be facing an Arizona State defense ranked 127th in rush yards allowed per game. This year,
they have averaged 253.0 yards per game when facing defenses ranked outside the top 50.

Heading into this week’s matchup, the Sun Devils will look to improve their offensive output,
as they are ranked just 78th in the NCAA in points scored.

Although Arizona State has struggled to move the chains on 3rd down throughout the season,
they have a chance to take advantage against a UCLA defense that is allowing an average of 24.25
points per game and has had its problems getting off the field on third down.

Although the Sun Devils have turned to the passing attack at a below-average rate this season,
they have an opportunity to find success through the air vs a UCLA defense allowing teams to
complete passes at a rate of 59.36%.

So far, the Arizona State offense is averaging just 133.5 yards per game on the ground. This
production has come on an average of 32.12 rush attempts per game (110th). This week, the Sun
