Beat writers’ game day predictions: UCLA v. Colorado
Prior to each UCLA football game, the Daily Bruin football beat writers will predict the score and give a short reasoning behind their predictions.

McKinley stabilizes previously shaky defensive line unit
Takkarist McKinley shot off the edge of the line, sprinted a few yards, then dove. The sophomore defensive end came up just short.
