Three things to keep an eye on when the Wildcats face the Bruins at the Rose Bowl (Saturday, 8:30 p.m. Tucson time, Fox/11).
Michael Lev Here are three things to watch in the Arizona Wildcats’ game against No. 12 UCLA at the Rose Bowl , plus a score prediction and some pertinent preview links:
1. JDL VS. DTRExpect a bounce-back game from Arizona quarterback Jayden de Laura. De Laura has yet to have two off games in a row as a Wildcat. He also has displayed the capacity to learn from his mistakes. Against Utah, de Laura’s ball-handling was uncharacteristically sloppy. We also got the sense that he was letting the pass rush affect him at times. He’ll be sharper against UCLA – and that’s be one of the reasons this game will end up closer than the point spread says it will.

Cowing was able to practice this week, albeit on a limited basis, so that’s a good sign; it looked, at first blush, like a potential season-ending situation. But he still could be held out Saturday. That might be the wise move with two winnable home games to close the season and Cowing possibly eyeing a move to the NFL.
3. DEUCES WILDRussell Davis II coming off one edge. Sterling Lane II coming off the other. Both are nicknamed “Deuce.” A couple of years from now, you can easily imagine a TV graphic with the heading: “Deuces Wild.” Under it: Davis and Lane’s sack numbers. It’s a distinct, but distant, possibility. Both freshmen – like Green – need to put on considerable weight. They arrived in June, missing out on not only on spring practice but spring weight training.
