Saturday Afternoon: UCLA-Utah Pregame Open Thread

Another Fall Saturday afternoon is upon us, and another UCLA Football game is just a few hours away. We will have our usual open thread for the Bruins game coming up at 3:15 PDT. Until then, here is an open thread to get everybody through the early afternoon games, as well as chat about some of the later games - whether it be the Bruins/Utes, or the de facto Pac-12 championship game being held on The Farm later tonight. There are a couple of early games wrapping up right now, as well as an early Pac-12 game between Arizona and Colorado in progress in Boulder (FCS Pacific/Fox sports). Here are some of today's major national games and our conference games.

12:30pm PST:

• Washington @ Southern Cal (FX)
• Michigan @ Illinois (ABC)
• Auburn @ Georgia (CBS)
• Miami @ Florida State (ESPN)
• TCU @ Boise State (Versus)

There isn't all that much in the way of compelling games this evening outside of the Oregon/Stanford contest. If our game (3:30pm, Prime Ticket/FCS Pacific) goes south in a hurry, at least that game is sitting there waiting around halftime. Aside from the UCLA/Utah game, here are some of the Mid-Afternoon and evening games (Pacific time).

• Tennessee @ Arkansas (3pm, ESPN2)
• Oregon State @ Cal (3:30pm, Comcast/Fox Sports)
• Western Kentucky @ LSU (4pm, ESPNU/ESPN3.com)
• Maryland @ Notre Dame (4:30pm, NBC)
• Alabama @ Mississippi State (4:45pm, ESPN)
• Oregon @ Stanford (5pm, ABC)
• Arizona State @ Washington State (7:30pm, Versus).

Go Bruins!
