UCLA’s biggest game of the year just moments away
12:09 p.m.: The Bruins are out on the field, warming up for probably their most important game in a generation.
A win would vault UCLA safely into the College Football Playoff conversation, and it would put them in a great spot when it comes to making the Pac-12 Championship Game or Rose Bowl at the end of the year. A loss wouldn’t sink their season, but it would put them in a three-way tie for second the conference standings.
The Bruins appear to be pretty healthy overall, with linebacker JonJon Vaughns standing as one of the few notable players who has been banged up as of late, but he is in full uniform during warmups.
The rain in Eugene has also cleared for the time being, after a wet morning during ESPN’s “College GameDay” preview show. The forecast doesn’t call for rain to resume until the second half at the earliest, but maybe the age-old adage that “It never rains at Autzen Stadium” is true after all.
There are also 10 NFL scouts in attendance for the game, according to a report from The Oregonian’s James Crepea. The Detroit Lions, New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks each have two scouts up in the press box, while the Buffalo Bills, Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints and Washington Commanders all sent one.
