After taking on the other PAC-12 South team from Los Angeles in their fourth game of the season, ASU will take on the UCLA Bruins at the Rose Bowl for their fifth game. The road team has won the past three games in this rivalry with UCLA prevailing last year at Sun Devil Stadium.

I was at the ASU v. UCLA game at the Rose Bowl in 2013 with Brett Hundley battling Taylor Kelly, but the ASU defense proved to be too much for Hundley, a Chandler High School grad, and ASU won the game and sealed up the PAC-12 South championship.

For me, this is one of the two most stressful games (more on the second in a couple slides) on the dock for ASU in 2015, but ASU will put away UCLA early and coast to a solid double-digit road victory to help the Sun Devils ascend the national rankings.

Final Score: ASU 36, UCLA 23

2015 ASU Record: 5-0 (2-0)
