It was far from pretty, but Saturday’s 27-23 win was exactly what UCLA needed going into its bye week.

The Bruins (3-2, 1-1 Pac-12) used 15-play, 79-yard drive that lasted more than six minutes in the fourth quarter to salt away a crucial conference victory and avoid a three-game losing streak.

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.

1. The Colorado offense was supposed to be the strength of this team, but its ranked 11th in the Pac-12 in scoring and total offense after four games. What is holding the Buffaloes back?

Teams often talk about the “little things” holding them back, and it’s really true with Colorado. Whether it’s been turnovers, penalties, drops or missed assignments, the Buffs have had a lot of different things put an end to drives. They’ve had 13 possessions end in opponent territory without any points, five of them ending in turnovers (four interceptions). The Buffs also have a young QB in Steven Montez, who is just seven starts into his career. He, and the offense as a whole, are going through some growing pains with him.
