The Oregon State offense (#55) is young and getting better. They have played a brutal gauntlet of the top defenses in the Pac-12 over the last 3 weeks and UCLA is the only great defense they haven't played yet, so of course they get them next. They played pretty well against WSU and OK against Stanford. This OSU team still looks bad on pure record, but I think a lot of people around the Pac-12 see this team growing week to week.

Oregon State is really very good at Play Efficiency. They get off the ball pretty well and put up a good YPP number. They are better than average at Explosive Drives so they are not putting up that number with some sort of barbell distribution of big plays and bad plays. They are also very good on 3rd down and D-plus Plays controlling for their SOS.

OSU is pretty bad at Drive Efficiency and Negative Drives. This team isn't consistent in it's play and they go 3 and out pretty regularly. They need to be more consistent against a very athletic and well coached UCLA defense.

UCLA's defense (#9) has recovered from playing terrible against Utah. They played pretty well against Colorado, but their offense let them down, which is sort of the theme of 2016. Tom Bradley has turned this defense into a consistent monster and he has some absurdly big and fast humans playing for him.

UCLA is incredible is Negative Drives. They cause a lot of 3 and outs. They are very very good at Play Efficiency and Explosive Drives. They are really good in coverage and can get away with dropping LBs into coverage on some team's WRs. They are pretty good on 3rd down and they are pretty good at Drive Efficiency, though they could really work on consistency to become an even more perfect monster.

UCLA isn't great at D-plus Plays, they just haven't turned out enough TFL's or turnovers.
