The No. 18 UCLA Bruins look to get back into the Pac-12 conversation as the Washington Huskies look for a signature win on the season after starting off hot at 4-0.
The matchup that everyone is looking to see is when Washington's Shaq Thompson and UCLA's Myles Jack meet head to head as both players play on both sides of the ball. Coaches on both teams spoke about the matchup and hope that they get to see these two dynamic players face off against each other.
"There is no part of me that is anxious to see Shaq running the ball," UCLA coach Jim Mora said. "The guy is a good ballplayer, man. We recruited him hard coming out of high school. I loved him as a player. I loved him as a person. For anyone that's fan of good football players, you have to be a fan of Shaq Thompson.”
"The biggest thing is you have to be fair to the player and making sure you are putting him in the best position to be successful," said USC and former Washington coach Steve Sarkisian. "As a team it all sounds really good and `Oh yeah, you're going to play both ways' and all those things, but you have to be fair that they're in a position to be successful.”
UCLA has matchups against USC and Stanford left on their schedule and can finish their 2014 regular season with a record of 7-2 in the Pac-12. If UCLA wants a shot at the Pac-12 championship they will be sure to take all three games on their schedule.
UCLA leads the all-time series against Washington 38-31-2 and the Bruins have taken four of the last five against the Huskies. UCLA beat Washington 41-31 in 2013.
