2:30 p.m., Pac-12 Networks
Pointspread: UCLA favored by 16.5 points/h4>
— UCLA opened as a 15.5-point favorite.
— The Bruins, massively affected by injuries at the linebacker position, rank last in the Pac-12 and in the bottom 20 nationally in rushing yards allowed per game, and that total has ballooned to 245.8 yards in conference play as the injuries have piled up.
— The Bruins still control their own destiny in the Pac-12 South. If they win their final four games, they would play in the conference championship game.
— Oregon State is in the middle of the pack in the conference with 158.0 yards per game on the ground but is 11th in total yards at 348.4. The Beavers have been outscored 182-87 during their five conference defeats after falling 27-12 at No. 13 Utah last Saturday. They were without starting quarterback Seth Collins, who didn’t make the trip after injuring his knee in practice last week. That left freshman Nick Mitchell to make his first true career start at quarterback. He technically started alongside Collins on Oct. 24 for a trick play on the Beavers’ first offensive play of the game against Colorado.
— Oregon State upset the 19th-ranked Bruins 27-20 on the road in the previous meeting in 2012.
