WHAT’S AT STAKE?
A victory for Washington will secure their eligibility for a bowl game, presenting them with an excellent opportunity given that they are set to face the unbeaten No. 1 ranked Oregon in their final regular-season game next week.
On the other hand, UCLA is also striving for bowl eligibility, needing to win two out of their last three games to reach six wins, with a crucial matchup against USC looming.

KEY MATCHUP
A critical aspect of the game will be the battle between UCLA’s run defense and Jonah Coleman.
The Bruins have excelled in this area, allowing only 98.1 rushing yards per game, ranking third in the Big Ten.
Coleman, however, has proven to be a formidable player, averaging 6 yards per carry, and currently sits fourth in the conference with 913 rushing yards this season.
He ranks 19th nationally in rushing yards, while UCLA’s run defense is ranked seventh.

PLAYERS TO WATCH
For UCLA, linebacker Carson Schwesinger stands out after earning the title of Big Ten defensive player of the week from his impressive performance in the Bruins’ narrow 20-17 victory against Iowa on Saturday, where he recorded two interceptions and seven tackles.
Schwesinger is leading the Big Ten with an average of 10.2 total tackles per game, which includes 6.2 solo tackles and a total of 92 tackles so far this season.
From Washington’s perspective, freshman quarterback Demond Williams Jr. has been seeing action in every game, stepping in to relieve fifth-year senior Will Rogers.
Following the Huskies’ significant loss to Penn State last week, Williams played the second half, indicating that head coach Jedd Fisch considers Williams to be a key player for the future.
If the game takes a lopsided turn, it’s likely that Williams will receive ample playing time.
