The No. 25 UCLA Bruins will face off against the Memphis Tigers Saturday. Here’s how to watch one of the most exciting teams in college football online.
The UCLA Bruins hope to continue their strong start to the season as they play Memphis. Kickoff from Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in Memphis, Tennessee on Saturday will be at 12:00 p.m. ET. ABC will have the telecast. The available live stream will be on WatchESPN.
UCLA has started with success on their home field and hope to remain undefeated in their first road outing. The Bruins come in having lost four straight road games. Josh Rosen has been on a tear to begin the season. He has thrown for 820 yards while completing 67.9 percent of his passes for nine touchdowns and zero interceptions. The latest FanSided NFL Draft Big Board has the UCLA quarterback as the top college football player available. Not only is the team passing well, their ground game has also contributed mightily. The team is averaging just under 100 yards rushing per game. This allows the team to keep opposing defenses on their toes. While UCLA is known for its aerial attack, simple runs can cause defenses trouble. Their defense has been weak early on. They are allowing 33.5 points and 493 yards per game. The defense was of no help in the Bruins shocking comeback victory over Texas A&M. Needless to say, the offense won’t be able to carry the team to victory over Memphis this weekend.
The Memphis Tigers started the year off with a close win over UL Monroe and were looking to continue winning last weekend against UCF. However, the game was postponed due to Hurricane Irma, so the Tigers have played just one contest coming into this one. The team should be well rested for this very important game. Their quarterback, Riley Ferguson, was a weak link in the team’s Week 1 victory. He completed just 40 percent of his passes for 97 yards and an interception. The run is where Memphis hopes to gain their yardage. Against UL Monroe, the Tigers ran for an astounding 319 yards. Running back Darrell Henderson could decide whether or not his team has a chance in this one. Their first defensive performance was lackluster, giving up 29 points and 425 yards. UCLA will surely take advantage of this weakness, so Memphis will need to improve if they hope to compete.
