QUARTERBACKS
--------------------------------------------------------------
THE EDGE: OREGON STATE
D.J. Uiagalelei is coming off his best game as a Beaver, while 2023 five-star prospect Dante Moore has had ups-and-downs as one would expect out of a freshman quarterback. Moore still has the chance to be an elite quarterback for UCLA, but there is quite a bit of work to do to get to that point. From a recruiting standpoint, it will be hard to find a quarterback matchup this season that might be better than this one.
RUNNING BACKS
--------------------------------------------------------------
THE EDGE: OREGON STATE
Don't let Carson Steele's recruitment fool you. The Indiana native is a very good tailback and has been great for the Bruins since moving to Los Angeles this offseason. That being said, Damien Martinez is the better running back and once again gives the Beavers the edge at running back this weekend.
