Here's another reason: Our kicking game.

You asked to give a reason why UCLA beats BYU. I'm guessing we're talking hypothetically here. So IF UCLA were to win Saturday, home field and our kicking game are two reasons I'm GUESSING. We could start another thread on one reason BYU beats UCLA this weekend. If that were the case, I would probably give two: Execution and coaching (see UCLA's inexusable losses to Notre Dame and Florida St. last year)

Ask any Bruin about their kicking game.

the entire team contracts food poisoning and UCLA plays against some kids we recruit in the parking lot

First of all let me say that I'm pretty confident that BYU will win, but of course they could lose too. If BYU does lose I think it will come down to home field advantage and the kicking game. UCLA is 20-5 the last few years at home and our kicking isn't pretty.

Still I'm saying 28-24! BYU wins and breaks the top 25!

If it comes down to the kicking game, we'll have to call it a draw, because our freshman kicker has missed two of three field goal attempts.

I hope your kicker continues that! Hopefully we won't miss any more PAT's or short FG's! GoBruinz, what's your prediction on the game?

They've shown they can successfully throw the long ball (yeah, I know, against Stanford). We haven't shown yet that we can throw or defend the long ball.

Hodgkiss had a few good breakups on some pretty deep balls.
