TV: 7 p.m. Saturday; ABC-7.
Line: UCLA by 31/2.
Records: USC 7-3, 6-2 Pac-12; UCLA 8-2, 5-2.
Last meeting: UCLA won 35-14 on Nov. 30, 2013 at the Coliseum.
On the offensive: This will showcase future NFL quarterbacks. USC’s Cody Kessler has an absurd 29 to 3 TD-to-INT split, while UCLA’s Brett Hundley is completing a national-best 72.1 percent of throws.
Getting defensive: The over-under (predicted total points) is 611/2, and that reflects two mediocre defenses. USC does have a standout at defensive end: Leonard Williams has six sacks.
The number: 2. The Bruins have won two straight in the series after getting mauled (one victory) from 1999-2011.
The talk: First-year USC coach Steve Sarkisian on the rivalry: “As a Trojan, you live it every day.”
Teddy Greenstein’s pick: UCLA will win its fifth straight game. UCLA 36, USC 34.
