Quarterback Brett Hundley and the UCLA Bruins' (8) offense will have to overcome the staunch Stanford Cardinal defense Friday in order to take the Pac-12 South.

Hundley has indicated that this will be his final college football season, as he has completed his degree, forgoing his last year of athletic eligibility. He and the Bruins need only win and they will book their trip to Santa Clara, Calif. on Dec. 5 to play Oregon for the Pac-12 title.

According to the Associated Press, Stanford is allowing an average of 290 yards per game while limiting opponents to just more than two touchdowns per game. But Stanford has found itself at 4-4 in the conference and 6-5 overall due to an offense that can barely muster more production than what they allow.

"They just play football," Hundley told reporters. "Big, physical team and they get at it."

UCLA has lost to Stanford in each of the two teams' last three meetings and the latter are the winners of the last two Rose Bowl Games.

UCLA is riding a five-game winning streak that started after they lost to Utah on Oct. 4 and then Oregon the next weekend. UCLA coach Jim Mora said he has led a different team since that point in the season.

"Something happened after that Oregon game for our team," he told reporters. "If they want to say it relieved the pressure, that's fine. I just feel like we refocused and gave ourselves a break maybe. We've been playing pretty good football since then and getting better on a weekly basis."

UCLA is tied with both Arizona and Arizona State for the division lead, but the Bruins have also beaten both head-to-head this season. After beating USC last weekend, the task for UCLA is simple: win this week, when next week and they would make a strong case for the College Football Playoff.
