UCLA a slight favorite against ranked Oregon despite struggling at the Rose Bowl

LA Times  

A victory over his former Oregon team Saturday would be coach Chip Kelly’s biggest win in four years at UCLA. Here’s a look at the game’s matchups and story lines: Seeking home improvement The Bruins need to make the Rose Bowl less hospitable to visitors. “We know we’ve gotta improve and we know we’ve gotta be better come Saturday,” UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson said, “to be able to play really good in front of a good home crowd.” The one constant this season at the Rose Bowl has been massive turnout among the students, a credit to UCLA athletic director Martin Jarmond’s big marketing push. “There’s a lot of eye candy everywhere trying to mix us up on the defense, try to make our eyes go where they’re not supposed to, so we have to stay disciplined, do our job, do our assignment.” Like his UCLA counterpart, who has 13 touchdown passes and only two interceptions, Brown has rarely made a huge mistake throwing the ball — he has thrown seven touchdown passes and one interception.
