It’s almost time for the season opener. If you’re like me, you’re already at the game. While I’ve joked frequently that Bruin fans invented social distancing, I hope most of our readers are at the game supporting our team. But our game thread is here for everyone. 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
It’s going to be HOT at the Rose Bowl this afternoon. Expect the temperature to be about 93° degrees at kickoff. With a 12:30 kickoff, there won’t be any relief in sight either.
It will actually get even hotter as the game progresses. The temperature should be about 96° around halftime and it may even hit a high of 100°.

Let's hope so
LOL
Too early to sit; how about beginning of third quarter if our lead is still big?
Give em the reps! GO GO GO!
Works for me!
Got half of it!!
Checking in.... good luck!
U!
C
L~~~~
A!
UCLA Fight! Fight! Fight!!
Let's do this....Go Bruins!
Off topic, but ESPN is actually broadcasting high school football right now! They better cut out of it pretty quick.
Kinda on-topic if it means people can't watch. The Spanish broadcast has started on ESPN3 at least.
Más mejor que Beth Mowins, ¿verdad?
Early guess- attendance 15k
The stadium is empty. Embarrassing and sad...
Yeah, I wonder how much COVID has to do with it though…
Aren't the games before the school year starts generally not as well attended?
Yeah but this looks unprecedented to me…
Which Chip Kelly do we get in 2021?
Let's go, Bruins!!! Game on!!
C'mon D!!
nice pressure and many Bruins penetrating but QB is pretty slippery
Great D!!!!
All right all right!
3 n out on first series-- can't ask for much more than that!! Love it!!
Huh?
Knee down!
Wow, big break
punter with knee down on 4th down puts UCLA in the red zone
I can't believe that-- must have great eagle-eyed assistant coach there :-)
Wow, what a break!
Way over thrown.. miscommunication on the route?
He was open! Dammit
Glad DTR got rid of it-- smart play
Pretty disappointing considering where we got the ball
Opening day jitters.
Well I'm not jittery! ;-)
First series, not a surprise there's jitters. What matters is we came away with points, and didn't waste our first series. IMHO it's a win :-)
Missed the 1st down throw. Gotta make those.
Also the 2nd down run was one good block or broken tackle from a TD or 1st down
Cota was late and had to be careful of a clip or a crackback flag.
Kickoffs really solid so far.
3rd down stand-- let's go!!
At least student section looks kinda full
That’s awesome!
Someone tell the center the snap count
Nice!
Great play by the DE because that receiver was gonna have a ton of room in the flat
Dammit, that's DTR's second overthrow
too excited?
Nice run, son
Great run block on that right side. Yaaassssss
Love our run game, but we need to set up a gimme pass for DTR to settle him down
It is so good to hear the band again.
I just said the same thing!
Charbonnet!
maybe the teammate pushed him too hard hah
Yeah we need some short passes now.
Passing game doesn’t look so good at the moment.
So far it's non-existent!
DTR is a senior. It should not take this long for him to get going. So frustrating.
It’s not just him, other than the wide open TD he missed
That's exactly what the doctor ordered :-)
Touchdown, Bruins!!!
Yas!
Charbonnet looking great so far!
That was a pretty drive! Dominating run game!
YES! Great drive using the run game!
So far so good.
Right place, right time :-) Our D line is dominating the trenches
Int!
woooo interception!!!
wow difficult catch
It was Datona Jackson
Oh yes INT!!
