Moreover, the Huskies enter the game as huge underdogs, despite their 13-10 record on the season. Washington has won four of their last six games, while the Huskies did fall their last time out to the Arizona Wildcats.

Meanwhile, UCLA has been one of the more dangerous teams in the sport thus far, sitting at 17-4 on the season. However, the Bruins are entering Thursday’s game on a two-game losing streak, so it may be considered a must-win to get their season back on track.
