Watch the UCLA Bruins vs. Texas Longhorns online for some spirited action in a non-conference battle at Austin, Texas. UCLA comes of a convincing defeat of No. 23 ranked Houston, 31-13 and now must meet the same football squad that played for national title last year. This is the first time the teams have met in 12 years when ECLA won, 49-31. It is unlikely that Coach Rick Neuhseisel's Bruins will repeat that effort meeting the No. 7 ranked Longhorns.
Prior to beating Houston convincingly, UCLA was outlasted by Kansas State, 31-22 and completely outgunned by Sanford PAC-10 rival, 35-0. The win against Houston came due to the fact Houston lost both starting QB Case Keenum and back-up Cotton Turner to season-ending injuries.
Texas hasn't been an overwhelming force yet â€" at least not living up to usual Longhorn reputation. They are 3-0 with convincing winds against Rice (34-17), Wyoming (34-7) and then worked past Big 12 Conference rival Texas Tech (24-12). Although the offense is not running rough shod against all defensive comers, Texas does have its own impressive rush defense ranked No. 1 nationally. It is ranked second in total defense only allowing a total of 206.7 yards per game. Although UCLA's Johnathan Franklin rushed for a career high 158 yards tallying three touchdowns against Houston with a team best of 365 yards of total offense, this is not enough against an opponent with the top defense in the country.
UCLA is also struggling with its passing game. QB Kevin Prince has only completed 43.6 percent for 258 yards and will find it extremely tough going against a talented squad led by linebacker Keenan Robinson, safety Blake Gideon and linebacker Eddie Jones, who has a team-high five sacks. Expect Texas to trounce UCLA, 56-3.
