It’s almost time for the final non-conference game of the 2021 season. The Bruins will look to go undefeated in non-conference play for the first time since 2015.
With UCLA finally ready to reopen, look for the Den student section to be full again. Hopefully, the win over LSU will also result in more Bruin fans coming back again for this week’s game as well. Join your fellow Bruins fans discussing today’s game, and if you happen to be at the Rose Bowl, hopefully, you have a strong enough signal to join in on the conversation.
Let’s look at the game time weather forecast.
Game Time Weather Forecast
After a few weeks of brutally hot tailgating, it’s going to be a pleasant evening at the Rose Bowl.
Expect it to be about 66° degrees at kickoff. It will slowly cool off a bit as the game goes on. The temperature should be about 63° around halftime and it should keep dropping to into the lower 60s by the fourth quarter.

I am quick to criticize butter hands DTR, but in fairness, we've run 15 plays only, and 1/3 of them were good play by DTR. It's not his failure so far.
Yeah, guess 32 better than 31? TD makes it 32, xp makes it 33, so yeah...
Tru dat
Why not get the XP? If FSU gets a TD, we will want that point back.
That was a bad move. You don’t figure they’re gonna get 2 FGs. Now if they get a TD we can only tie with a FG.
Exactly. Stupid play, Chip.
Like the Washington State game!
Uncle Tommy's miracle cure
Or completions?

The noncontact fumble is on him, and we’ve seen it before multiple times. It’s crazy.

UCLA Fight! Fight! Fight!
Clap, clap, clap!

Pac 12 Network bay area... I have to wait to see Oregon finish of... Stony Brook? What the hell is a Stony Brook?
Kickoff set for 7:55 pm, so sit tight :-)
FWIW It's been showing on PAC12 LA, for those who are local and can't find it
I got it, but I'm on the wrong coast and won't make it.
Hey everyone. Go Bruins!!
Hey, Gregg! Glad you're not on call tonight!
Me too!
Kickoff! Let's go, Bruins!!!
Let's go, defense!!!
Curious how the pass D handles this QB
Curious about the size of the cushions we'll be giving up tonight...
Always. The corners lined up close on the first play but they turned and ran off and left tons of room on that comeback route
We just got lucky on the overthrow; wide open receiver
Great run D!!
3rd and 11-- Let's Go, Defense!!!
Crowd making noise! :-)
It looks like we may be hurrying the quarterback a bit on las two throws; not sure, though
Got lucky there. But I will take it.
Phew. Pressure probably rushed him but the WR was open
Dammit, gotta catch those
Great run by Brown :-)
DTR looked great that pass, going through his reads calmly.
Argh flags
Bit us in the ass, for sure!
3rd and long
Watching gamecast ESPN... we are down from 80% favored to win to 66% favored to win. That was fast.
I'm surprised we were 80% favored. That's way too high, and Fresno St. way too good. I think 60% close to reality
Not the best start but let's see if we can get a 3 and out right here.
There it is!!
Way too much space!!
Haener for Heisman! (this is our tradition, right?)
Not this year!!
They're moving backwards! Go, Defense!!
faaaacckkkkkkk!!
Dammit
Fumble or no?
no definitive evidence yet to overturn call on field
Geez. That’s crap.
Ball was coming out on first contact.
They are very successfully attacking our pass D; we need to tighten it up!!
Terrible call!!
I think if they called it a fumble on the field, that call also stands.
Old UCLA football making an appearance
Westwood Cushions making a return.
Slow start on both sides of the ball. Need to get going now.
WTF was that formation by Fresno St?? Swinging the gate?
Fresno is a good team. We will meed to play well.
I don’t love how we’ve started tonight
Going to be a slugfest
I hope we can match them. If our pash rush isn’t in their QBs face, he’s torching our defense.
We need to get them to make some turnovers....I think that is a big key for us
Good point, especially tonight.
Finally Oregon Silly Brook game is over.
Yes!! That's how you come out to play!! Great pass, DTR!!
Did they go for 2 because their kicker is out? If so, they won't be trying for many FGs.
Great call!
Looks like they can kick an extra point...
Blink and we're on the 20 yd line!
DTR running the ahow
confidently and competently-- love it!!
Like your Sr. QB shiuld!
Fernea with the hurdle!!
Charbonnet with the TD!!
Well, that's refreshing.
That's how you answer the Fresno St. touchdown!! Now we can go up by 1
That was fast. Awesome!
Well I’d that matched them just fine! Great drive and response!
