It’s one of the biggest – if not THE biggest – game of the season for the Bruins considering the Cardinal’s recent reign over the conference and UCLA’s offseason pledge to become a more physical team. If the Bruins are to succeed in this game, then they’ll have to shut down running back Christian McCaffrey.
Head coach Jim Mora said Monday “it’s not even arguable that (McCaffrey is) the top player in college football.”
