Free Analysis: Houston probably needs the entire week leading up to this game to recover after a marathon against Louisiana Tech last time out. The Cougars lost the contest 56-49 with a late-game rally falling just short. Houston is now 0-2 to open the season a year after going 12-1, albeit with record-setting quarterback Case Keenum at the helm in 2011. It's not often when a quarterback throws for four touchdowns, 580 yards, no interceptions and still loses, but that was the case for Houston last week. The Cougars might not have quarterback Case Keenum under center any more, but their philosophy hasn't changed. Quarterback David Piland threw 77 times in a 56-49 loss to Louisiana Tech last week, but the game really wasn't that close. Houston scored the final 22 points of the contest in garbage time. Dewayne Peace and Charles Sims each led the team with 11 receptions, but Peace was the more dynamic receiver with 141 yards and a score. Even with that performance, Peace's night still fell short to that of Daniel Spencer, who had 157 yards and a score on just seven receptions. As well as the offense performed it didn't matter because the Cougars' defense was bad. Houston got lit up for 56 points, 498 total yards and 38 first downs. In the game the Cougars allowed seven touchdowns on seven red zone trips for the Bulldogs. The defense got beat both against the run (245 yards allowed) and the pass (353) and failed to get pressure on Louisiana Tech quarterback Colby Cameron. 

Jim Mora has No. 23 UCLA off to a flying start. The Bruins enter Week 3 undefeated, nationally ranked for the first time in four years and heavily favored to defeat Houston Saturday at the Rose Bowl. Mora's next test will be to avoid a letdown and keep the high-scoring Bruins from looking past the Cougars, one week before Pac-12 Conference play begins. UCLA knocked off No. 16 Nebraska last week and has a date with Oregon State on the horizon. In the win over Nebraska, the Bruins recorded 653 total yards which marks the first time since 1998 the team has had consecutive weeks with 500 yards or more. Hundley and running back Johnathan Franklin have been the keys to the high- octane effort. Hundley completed 21-of-33 pass attempts for 305 yards and four touchdowns while also putting up 53 yards on the ground against Nebraska. Hundley is now fourth in the Pac-12 in passing yards and has the most rushing yards among quarterbacks in the conference. Franklin also had a big game against Nebraska as he builds off of an impressive 2011 campaign. The running back carried the ball 26 times and racked up 217 yards. Franklin now leads not only the conference but the nation overall in rushing yards (431) by a wide margin. Buffalo's Branden Oliver is the closest behind him with 349 yards.With the offense putting up such gaudy numbers, the defense just had to contain Nebraska's offensive attack. A week after throwing for five touchdown passes, Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez completed only 17-of-31 passes for 179 yards against the UCLA defense. The Bruins were less successful against the run, allowing 260 yards on the ground, including 112 to Martinez.

Free Pick: Over at Pregame I went with the Over, but got the game early enough (72.5) to make the play. The OU Line is at 76.5 right now and while I still see about 80 points scored I will make a play on the Bruins here. The Houston offense came alive last week, but still a lot of it was in garbage time, after they were down by 29 points. They will get down  big again, but UCLA will not let them claw back into it. The Bruins offense is much improved over last year and they may just have the best offense in the PAC-12. Their defense is good vs the pass, but not so vs the run and that's ok because Houston is not a running team. Houston will put points on the board this year, but their defense will stop no one and I feel UCLA can put up 50+ points in this one, while Houston gets no more than 28.
