Thursday
9:00 PM ET ESPN: UCLA 3-3 @ #2 Oregon 6-0 (-24.5) - Both the Ducks and the Bruins come into this game off a bye week, but dealing with injuries. Bruins sophomore QB Kevin Prince is dealing with a sprained knee. If he can not go, expect fellow sophomore Richard Brehaut to get the start. For the Ducks, RB Kenjon Barner (concussion) is out, while DT Zac Clark (groin), DE Terrell Turner (toe), and CB Anthony Gildon (ankle) are all questionable to play. This one might be over early as it will be tough for UCLA to keep pace with Oregon's offense that averages 54.3 points a game. The Ducks have won 7 of the last 9 against the Bruins.
