UCLA vs Texas 2010 College Football Picks, 2010 College Football Odds & 2010 College Football Predictions: UCLA is set to square off against another Big 12 foe and Head Coach Rick Neuheisel is hoping for a better result than the one it got in Manhattan, Kansas to open the season. The Bruins will kick things off at 3:30pm ET tomorrow against the seventh ranked Texas Longhorns at Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium; the game will be broadcast live on ABC. 2010 College Football Picks, Odds & Predictions at SBGglobal.com have the Longhorns listed as a -15.5 against the spread home favorite and the Over/Under set at 43.
Texas has looked like a different team in many ways this season, but the results have been much the same, which means
the Longhorns opposition have yet to experience a win. Mack Brown's squad improved to 3-0 last weekend, grinding out a 24-14 win against Big 12 South rival Texas Tech in Lubbock.
The Longhorns managed just 18 first downs and 320 total yards in the victory, which are not the kind of numbers Texas fans have come to expect. Quarterback Garrett Gilbert struggled throughout the game, completing 21-of-36 passes for 227 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions while the rushing attack amassed just 93 yards on 43 carries. The defense stepped up in a big way, though, more than making up for the offense's lackluster evening.
The Red Raiders had their worst offensive day in years, finishing the game with 11 first downs and 144 total yards. Tech averaged a pathetic -0.8 yards per carry and 4.4 yards per pass against Will Muschamp's defense.
UCLA, which presently ranks 99th in the nation in yards per game at 303.7, got its first win of the season last Saturday, upsetting 23rd ranked Houston 31-13 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. The Bruins jumped on the Cougars early and went into the break with a surprising 21-3 lead after touchdown runs of 11 and one yard.
Houston, which saw starting quarterback Case Keenum go down with a torn ACL and his backup, Cotton Turner, leave with a shoulder injury, produced 19 first downs and 360 yards in the loss.
The Bruins Kevin Prince still failed to impress, completing 9-of-17 passes for 99 yards and one interception; however, the rushing attack, led by sophomore Jonathan Franklin's 158 yards and three touchdowns, gashed the Cougars for 266 yards.
2010 College Football Picks Betting Trend: The Bruins are 1-4 against the spread and 0-5 straight up over the last five seasons playing on the road after back-to-back home games (Under 5-0).
