I may be in the minority here, but if this is a night game and Oregon busts out the black and neon jerseys you see above, this is going to be a statement win for the Ducks (I’m clearly a huge fan of the look).

Chip Kelly has the Bruins playing their best football since he took over a few years ago and you know Oregon wants to beat the old coach. There’s a little added motivation each time Kelly is on the opposing sideline and even though this one is in Pasadena, I think the Ducks are going to give the Bruins quite the battle and hold a lead late.

The fourth quarter will be back and forth and the game will be tied with a few minutes left and the Ducks will drive down the field and score a touchdown on a 14-yard run by CJ Verdell with just over two minutes remaining. The Ducks will make a stop on the other end and shut the door.

This game will have a playoff elimination feel because whoever wins will have the best chance to represent the Pac-12 in the national semifinal.

Final Score: Oregon 34, UCLA 27 (7-0, 4-0)
