That kind of team speed almost led the Ducks all the way back, but a missed  47-yard field goal attempt  couldn\u2019t send it to overtime.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Bruins are riding their own high as they scored touchdowns on two of their first three plays from scrimmage on the way to  hammering visiting Colorado 45-6 on Saturday. It was the most points they&#8217;ve scored since Sept. 1, 2007, when they also had 45 in a win over Stanford.  [soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Quarterback Kevin Prince threw a career-best four touchdown passes and UCLA racked up 553 yards of total offense. Prince was 15-of-19 for 225 yards, including a 54-yard scoring pass on his first throw of the night to  sophomore Shaquelle Evans. <\/p>\n<p>Also reaching the end zone was junior RB Jonathan Franklin and sophomore RB Malcom Jones as senior PK Tyler Gonzalez punched home a 22-yard FG.<\/p>\n<p>With the win, the Bruins became bowl-eligible and remains atop the Pac-12 South division. They can also earn a spot in the PAC 12 inaugural conference championship game with a win against rival USC in their season finale.<\/p>\n<p>But the Bruins won&#8217;t have history on their side , as USC leads the all-time series 45-28-7 including a 28-14 victory last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt&#8217;s Prediction: USC 38, UCLA  24&#8211; <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>UCLA is 4-0 in Pac-12 home games this year, but the Bruins&#8217; only road conference win came at a dreadful Oregon State.<\/p>\n<p>Coupled with the fact that UCLA has been clobbered  by at least 25 points during their last three road tilts, I am going with the Trojans here as they post a 10-win season for the eighth time in 10 years, and for the 25th time in school history. <\/p>\n<p>Welcome to the CappersPicks.com college football weekly predictions pages!
