It’s been an up and down season for UCLA and Southern Cal. While the Trojans appeared to have thrown in the towel on the season when Clay Helton was fired after just the second game of the season, the fate of Chip Kelly remains undetermined. A loss today will likely go a long way towards deciding his fate.
The Bruins have lost the last two games to the Trojans and they have not won at the Coliseum since 2013. But UCLA’s 3-1 road record is the best in the Pac-12.
More than likely, it looks like the game will go to the team who can force the other to turn the ball over. UCLA has a +4 turnover ratio while Southern Cal’s ratio is -1. That would seem to favor the Bruins.
But make no mistake…today’s game is going to be a war.
Let’s look at the game time weather forecast.
Game Time Weather Forecast
Today’s game will be about as perfect as you can get for the third Saturday of November. It should be a cool 65° degrees and partly cloudy at the Coliseum for kickoff. The temperature should remain pretty constant through halftime before slipping a little into the lower 60s during the fourth quarter.

Yeah, let's see if it's the bad D that comes out.
The replay guys got it right. The dudes on the field continue to struggle with the basics.
^^ This!! ^^
ticky-tack
Does it all even out? Does it?
The voice of The True Fan
Shit is shit
I guess we'll see...
What about $C doesn't make me want to puke?
U (clap, clap, clap)
C (clap clap clap)
L (clap, clap, clap)
A (clap, clap, clap)
Fight fight fight!
Let's go, Bruins!!! FU$C!!!
LFG!!
(I hope) Here's a correct link to StatBroadcast for today:

Yup! Working now for your stat hounds like me :-)
TFL on 1st. Nice!!
and no pass D on second -_-
Man, I thought we were gonna pick that last pass!
Dammit! Missed tackles left and right gonna be the end of us!
Three short passes, three big gains. Hmm, go figure.
Too many missed tackles!
Third down-- let's go, D!!!
D was lucky to get off the field with only 3 points; we got a lot to clean up before the next series
Two drops by $c inside the 10 forces the short FG. 3-0 trogans
Oh, DTR.... that was a terrible pass
and a terrible decision
Geez...
If we lose today, we should drop football.
I'm surprised football hasn't dropped us yet.
No, but we should definitely fire Chip
well, yeah, there always is that... :-)
Nice sack-- we needed that!!
Stupid trogans with deep drops and long routes.
Good that Dart's passes have looked terrible so far; keep it up!
Beautiful pick!! Thx, Dart!!!
Woo-hho!
Great pick!!!
And moronic $c keeps trying to go deep downfield hahahaha
Nice move by DTR to get a few there
OMG are you freaking kidding me?? 2nd pick on DTR today
Why does this team want me to hate football?
This game is hilarious.
Again? F...
It's going to be a long day... I see it's 64 and sunny out there, it is 39 and the sun is setting here.
These errors are acceptable from a freshman. Not from a senior. Put Garbers in.
It was PI... not on DTR
Clearly. Horrible missed call, especially considering the result. SFPTRs
SPTRs up to their usual tricks
SPTRs
Keep calling those 5 and 7 step drops, trogies
We should have a lot of sacks this game if that continues
Exactly. We've brought an extra pass rusher or 2 so far and have been getting good pressure
PI again!!
Refs really need to look at how aggressive $C D is-- very handsy today
Beautiful pass and catch!!
Beautiful pass
Refs are a joke
BEAST!!
Strong run!
Touchdown!!!!
Final score: UCLA 54, USC 44
TFD!!!!
Another Woo-hoo!
Really nice throw by DTR to get that over the safety and into the receiver
Really nice of the safety to come up too much as well :-)
True, good point!
It was behind Allen, so great catch too
I actually like seeing Kelly angry
These refs are outdoing themselves. Just pathetic.
Yeah, turning into UCLA v. U$C v. SPTRs
I have not been impressed by their RB Ingram so far
But that was a nice cut on that run. Too many missed tackles, however
And missed holding calls.
Argh. Could have had him for a loss.
He's honestly not that good ,but as usual, we make average look superior
How did we miss that tackle?? We were right there in his face!!
fuckin' embarrassing -_-
Almost like he was too surprised to make the tackle.
Ole'!
