The fate of the Pac-12 will be determined in large part by Saturday night's game between the Arizona State Sun Devils and the UCLA Bruins. If the Sun Devils can win tonight in Pasadena they will win the Pac-12 South division, but a loss will put control of the division in the hands of the Bruins. With a win tonight, the Bruins will hold a tiebreaker over the Sun Devils, but will still need to defeat USC in their final regular season game. Unfortunately some of the games out west don't always get the attention they deserve, but this matchup will be getting much deserved attention with a 7pm ET start.

The No. 14 Bruins have gone largely under the radar out west thanks in large part to two losses to Stanford an Oregon. However, outside those two games, the Bruins have been impressive this season behind their high powered offense. Bruins quarterback Brett Hundley has been impressive this season throwing for over 2,300 yards and 20 touchdowns. However, Hundley and the Bruins will have to outscore a Sun Devils offense that is ranked tenth in the nation in points scored per game.

The No. 17 Sun Devils have a balanced offensive attack behind quarterback Taylor Kelly and running back Marion Grice. Look for Grice to be the focal point of the Sun Devils offensive game plan tonight after Kelly has been sacked eight times in the past two games. I think the Bruins defense will give the Sun Devils passing attack some problems, which could be the difference in this game.

Keep an eye out for Bruins linebacker Myles Jack who made his debut on offense last week and ran for 120 yards on just six carries.

OddsShark had the Sun Devils as two-point favorites at the opening. I think the Bruins will win this game behind Hundley and their defense.

Game time is 7pm ET. The game will be airing on TV on Fox.
