Game Preview
On December 16, the UCLA Bruins and the Boise State Broncos square off in the LA Bowl at SoFi Stadium.
Ethan Garbers will start at QB for UCLA. Prior to the season, he was the starter, but he lost the position to Dante Moore and after Moore encountered some difficulties, he regained his position. Head coach Chip Kelly stated that although he sustained an injury in the season finale, the team anticipates having him return for the bowl game. It is yet to be seen if that is accurate or not. The Bruins had trouble scoring, scoring an average of 25.6 points versus opponents who gave up 31 points per game on average. Despite an injury that forced him to leave the team’s regular season final game versus Cal in the first quarter, Garbers is expected to participate in this bowl game. The Bruins attack, which was fueled by players like Garbers, Dante Moore, and Collin Schlee, occasionally struggled, particularly in the passing game, finishing below the top 100 in EPA/Pass.
After removing his interim designation for the final 3 matches of the NCAA football season, Spencer Danielson was named Boise State’s head coach for 2024. However, he may be starting this game at a disadvantage because CJ Tiller, a rookie quarterback, may be playing in his first collegiate game. He has been designated as Green’s backup following the injury to Maddux Madsen. With an average of 40 runs and 27 passes each game, the Broncos enjoy running the football. Running the ball against UCLA’s defense, however, won’t be simple. Given that Green is listed in the transfer portal, it’s possible that Boise State is starting their third-string quarterback, which may entail a demanding workload for Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year Ashton Jeanty. This season, he has gained 1,262 yards through rushes and 552 yards through passes.
