As far as games in Week 5 go, this is a big one for UCLA.

Pac-12 South opponent. Potential three-game losing streak. A 0-2 start to conference play on the line.

Even head coach Jim Mora acknowledged the importance of Saturday’s game against Colorado at 7:30 p.m. at the Rose Bowl.

“For us, the most important one is always the one you’re preparing for,” he said. “If you take that mindset then you can build some consistency, but I also think it’s very relevant that we need to get a conference win against a Pac-12 South opponent.”

The game is on ESPN2 with a TV broadcast on AM 1150.
