This afternoon, UCLA faces a tough test against the #10 team in the country when the Oregon Ducks visit the Rose Bowl..
The Bruins are actually a 2-point favorite at home against the Ducks. That makes this game is pretty much a tossup. It’s going to come down to whether the UCLA defense can hold Oregon enough to give the Bruin offense a chance to win.
Let’s look at the game time weather forecast.
Game Time Weather Forecast
Repeat after me: It doesn’t rain inside the Rose Bowl. It doesn’t rain inside the Rose Bowl. It doesn’t rain inside the Rose Bowl. It doesn’t rain inside the Rose Bowl. It doesn’t rain inside the Rose Bowl.
That said, it is definitely not a Chamber of Commerce day today in Pasadena. In fact, it’s going to be cloudy throughout the game. There is a less than 3% chance of rain this afternoon.
Expect it to be a cool 64° degrees and mostly cloud at the Rose Bowl at kickoff. It will warm up a little to about 66° at halftime. The temperature climb a little more to about 67° by the fourth quarter.

TuneIn.com now has UCLA’s football games listed as “premium” content. So, rather than using TuneIn, you can just listen through the official website like we have done with the small sports for a long time in order to listen to Josh Lewin and Matt Stevens call today’s game instead of Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit if you want, but Herbstreit has been behind UCLA all season.

Only if you're just trying to make a statement to the team - like changing a goalie when the D keeps giving up breakaways. DTR isn't the one letting us down.
Only reason we did FG last time was due to time... I'm confident we can score against this D (unless they come up with some adjustments-- we never can)
Changing over...pretty sure I have ESPNNews. We cut our cable and have a million different apps now so I'm not really sure what I can watch anymore lol
He should have been gone after Fresno St, actually he should have been gone last year!
Or two seasons ago
Might as well. Better odds than our defense
The O line that isn't doing the job for DTR wouldn't do the job for Garbers.
Exactly. I find it kinda hard to put any of this on DTR
Oh, I get you! thanks for the explanation!

Ah, just saw your comment below. Makes sense.
Very true. This is yet another D loss.
Lolololololol
At least Mick knows what defense is
Seriously. It's fucking incompetence or stupidity.
Where's the tarmac when you really need it?
Second half adjustments!
Not over.. Duck D has done little to stop us as well... gonna be who has the ball last
I hope so! Field goals ain’t gonna cut it though.

Or that asst. coach?
Solid Gold Sound of the UCLA Marching Band!!
Dulcich trying to block the best DE in the nation...
Has he ever?
LOL I'm cruel like that
A lot of people failed to plan on COVID.
Sadly, that was just a terrible throw by DTR
The defense hit DTR's arm as he threw. Bad luck.
as per usual
Every game, you gotta wonder!!
Will rec this every time!
As they should :-)
U
C!
L!
A!
What happens to our televised game when the Illinois/Penn St game goes to overtime?
They probably start us on ESPNU or something.
from ABC to ESPNU?
Just guessing. ABC and ESPN are partners, so they'll start the feed somewhere.
I was unaware of that partnership :-) good to know!
Of course perennially overrated Penn State struggles with a 2-5 team to delay our national spotlight game.
I'm just rooting for a quick hit to set up a FG
Same here. Go Illini!
Important fact...Champagne Illinois is the birthplace of the great REO Speedwagon.
Nice factoid!
Got any Blood, Sweat & Tears little known facts? LOL
Sure thing. I saw them live through the haze at the First Atlanta Pop Festival 1969.
Geez. OT it is.
The crawler said our kickoff is at 12:41 PT, so still 11 minutes to go
UCLA televised on ESPNNews in 12 minutes, per TV
Yeah, showing pregame on ESPNNews right now
Changing over...pretty sure I have ESPNNews. We cut our cable and have a million different apps now so I'm not really sure what I can watch anymore lol
13-10 Penn St; Illinois has ball now in OT
Hmm...bit of a disappointing looking crowd right now
13-13 now, 2nd OT period. Must score TD now
About to kick off; we're receiving
Let's go, Bruins!!!
LFG!!
Good to see Phillips back!
BEAST!!
Good to get Dulcich involved early
Nice juke by DTR!!!
You must be about a play ahead of me.
It's takes awhile for the play to go the extra 1000 miles lol
Are you streaming?
I'm not sure...Comcast high speed cable, ROKU, and the DirectTV stream, so probably
hi speed internet, not cable
Have we kicked off yet? LOL
Our boys look like they came to play!!
Zach is so smooth for a power runner
wow... only negative play of this series was the penalty. Love it!!
Great up-tempo series, totally dominated this series!! Go, Bruins!!! Touchdown!!!
Definitely
Woohoo what an opening drive!!!
TD!
Doesn’t look like a very big crowd. I though we’d hit 75k but it sure looks a lot smaller.
sigh.. defense smdh
Ouch. Pass D…
"Easy coverage...easy throw"
with little D on both sides, this will become a boat race
now _that_ was good D! :-)
We played the WR screen well
Let's go, d!!
That spot favored us
Let's go, D!!!
They didn't get it!!!!
They'll go for this
RUN D!
Yeah, huge stop!!!!
