WHAT TO KNOW

What’s at stake

UCLA attempts to maintain its unbeaten roll with a clean sweep of the Pac-12’s Arizona schools, while the Sun Devils need a win to get their season back on track.

Key matchup

Arizona State RB Demario Richard vs. UCLA LB Deon Hollins. The Sun Devils’ sole strength on offense has been the running game, while Hollins heads the group effort necessary to make up for the Bruins’ loss of LB Myles Jack to a season-ending injury.

Players to watch

Arizona State: S Jordan Simone. The senior is doing much of the work on defense, leading the Sun Devils in tackles along with his two interceptions.

UCLA: C Jake Brendel. If you’re wondering why the Bruins’ offense is clicking for freshman QB Josh Rosen, watch the fifth-year senior make his 44th start, anchoring an offensive line that has grown from a UCLA weakness into a clear strength during his career.
