Tonight, UCLA has an important Pac-12 South battle against the Utah Utes.
The Bruins need a win tonight in order to create a potential three-way split among UCLA, ASU and Utah for the division. A win by UCLA puts the Bruins back in the Pac-12 South race.
Tonight’s game will likely be the coldest game the Bruins have played so far this season. It won’t be as bad as it would if the teams were playing a night game in Utah in November, but it will certainly be very cool in Salt Lake City tonight.
Expect it to be a chilly 54° degrees and clear in Salt Lake City at kickoff. The temperature will drop slightly to about 53° at halftime and it will slip a little more to about 52° by the fourth quarter.
Listen to the Game With TMB!
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 Dave Flemming, Rod Gilmore, and Stormy Buonantony. Personally, I think Gilmore is an absolute hack who contradicted himself several times the last time he called a UCLA football game. So, it probably worth it to turn the sound off. If you do prefer UCLA’s radio team, be sure to right-click on it so that you can open up another tab and have it going while you chat in the comments below. Listen to today’s game online.

I think it’s gonna be ugly - with all our flaws exposed already this season I think the Utah coaches will have planned to pick us apart. Throw the ball, stop the run.
On the other hand...Justyn Martin, the QB from Inglewood who just committed to U.C.L.A. this week threw 13 touchdowns last night against Morningside. So we've got that going for us...
As he scores I immediately look for the holding penalty flag. I am tired of the negative, defeatist mind set of being a UCLA football fan. Can't even enjoy an f'ing TD.
U!

I hope ESPN gets it together, ESPN news has spike ball co-Ed summer series on and it’s glitching pretty bad
Well it’s on but it’s only audio
Watching from Detroit tonight. Go Bruins!!
Missed tackle on the first play from scrimmage
1 play, 2 missed tackles. Right on schedule.
Let’s see if we can keep Rising from looking like a Heisman candidate tonight
Didn't take long to get a facemask call
Missed tackles. Bad penalty. Soft coverage. Same old defense.
That was easy for them.
So one could conclude our defense pretty thoroughly sucks.

A lot of pressure on Garbers to keep up with Utah tonight

Burning our second timeout to avoid the delay of game on 4th down. Nice.
Nice scramble, Garbers!
Saw our future head coach - Jerry Neu. Now we just need to find the interim coach until 2035.
I like Garbers so far. Now we need to finish this drive.
Geez. Almost gave that one away. Happy to get the FG, I guess.
Great drive with an ugly finish. We have a snap problem every game. You would think the coaching staff might try to address that?
Did the game just move to ESPN? I am suddenly watching coed spike ball
Anyone else have dish and can’t get picture on ESPNnews, just audio?
If you don't have a picture, just close your eyes and imagine a Bruins defensive series. That's what it looks like.
This is sucky.
Between plays.... our defense LOOKS defeated. This is on the coaches, but the players look like they know they're going to get beat.
This must be the new Swiss cheese defense we’ve been hearing about.
Two defensive series, 2 touchdowns. Yay, Azzinaro
That was way too easy. We either need to match score for score on offense or tighten up the defense or this will be over by halftime…
I don't think Utah is going to face a fourth down all night long.
Ugh
We are just so bad
Geeze!
GO
Charbonnet!!!
Now that’s what I’m talkin about!
Awesome!
Beast!!
Woo-hoo!
Screw third downs amirite?
Charbonnet with a HUGE run.
As he scores I immediately look for the holding penalty flag. I am tired of the negative, defeatist mind set of being a UCLA football fan. Can't even enjoy an f'ing TD.
Off topic, can Geico finally retire the gecko.
Finally! He was open too…
