On Saturday afternoon, the UCLA Bruins (4-2) will visit the California Golden Bears (4-2) in a game that will feature two struggling defenses. In 2013, UCLA was able to beat Cal 37-10 at home.

Against Oregon last Saturday, UCLA lost its second game in a row when they were beaten 42-30 at home. They did have 553 yards of offense in that game, but they also gave up 258 rushing yards.

So far this year, the Bruins have been able to pass for 285.5 yards per game and they are scoring 35 points per game against their opponents. Quarterback Brett Hundley has thrown for 1,526 yards with 11 touchdowns and three interception, and he's also rushed for 211 yards and three more scores. Running back Paul Perkins has rushed for 727 yards and three touchdowns through six games.

California had a hard time moving the ball on the ground against Washington last Saturday and ended up getting blown out 31-7. Cal only had 64 rushing yards in that loss and they committed three turnovers.

The Golden Bears are currently 10th in the country in scoring with 42.8 points per game, but their defense is one of the worst by giving up 38.8 points per game. Sophomore Jared Goff has been one of the best quarterbacks in the country this season by throwing for 2,179 yards with 22 touchdown passes and just three interceptions.
