8:03 P.M. EST: UCLA is going to try to finally lift up their team in this game. They are much more talented than they have been playing on defense. Myles Jack is one of the best in college football. They just need to glue all of their pieces together, and against the Longhorns, they may be able to do that.
7:58 P.M. EST: Only a few minutes until we get to some football!
7:45 PM ET: 15 minutes until kickoff! You just know that Dallas will be rocking tonight.
7:08 PM ET: The biggest key for Texas today will be to convert on their third downs. They need to keep possession of the ball for positive gains in order to keep themselves in the game.
7:07 PM ET: Fans of Texas football are worried and they should be considering the way their team has played to start this year. After playing UCLA this week, they have a bye before playing Kansas away. After that game, they host Baylor and Oklahoma back-to-back in what could be two very long games for the Longhorns.
7:06 PM ET: Texas came out fired up for their second game at home to BYU. That game turned in to a blowout though as BYU won 41-7. Texas was miserable on offense with only 258 yards of total offense including only 82 yards on the ground. Unfortunately they allowed 429 yards from the Cougars including 248 yards rushing on 60 carries.
7:05 PM ET: Texas, on the other hand, has been a shell of their former program in recent times. They started out this season with a solid 38-7 victory over North Texas. The team had a great day defensively holding the Mean Green to only 94 yards of total offense. North Texas only completed 3-of-17 passes for 15 yards.
7:04 PM ET: UCLA will get started with their Pac-12 slate in 12 days when they play host to Utah. They will host Oregon the following week before playing three of their next four on the road including games at California, Colorado and Washington. They will end their season again USC and Stanford at home which eyes on getting to the Pac-12 Championship game in San Francisco in early December.
7:03 PM ET: Their second game was even more nervy for fans of the UCLA Bruins. They hosted Memphis in what should have been an easy victory but the Tigers had other ideas. It ended up 42-35 in favor of UCLA but their defense was once again less than good. The Bruins allowed 469 yards of total offense including 164 on the ground.
Despite the defensive struggles though, quarterback Brett Hundley had another huge game completing 33-of-44 passes for 396 yards and three touchdowns.
7:02 PM ET: UCLA started off the year with a tricky road game against the Virginia Cavaliers. UCLA was very highly ranked coming into the season but just did not seem comfortable in their first game. Although they did hold the lead for most of the game, Virginia's offense was able to move the ball for 386 yards. That included a cool 120 yards on 39 carries.
7:01 PM ET: This game is a very important game for both teams who have struggled to start the season.
7:00 PM ET: Good evening and welcome to VAVEL USA's coverage of college football. Tonight, our game features the #12 UCLA Bruins taking on the Texas Longhorns in a match-up between the Pac-12 Conference and the Big 12 Conference.
