Fresno State and UCLA Face Off in Finale

Fresno State's football team, led by interim head coach Tim Skipper, is preparing for a critical matchup against UCLA, with the Bulldogs entering as 10-point underdogs despite their four-game winning streak against the Bruins. This game marks the end of the season for UCLA, who has struggled with a 4-7 record under first-year head coach DeShaun Foster. Fresno State's recent success is rooted in historical victories over UCLA, and both teams are eager to showcase their talents in a storied rivalry. The matchup is particularly poignant as Fresno's Skipper and UCLA's Foster share a connection through their playing days and coaching backgrounds. This game presents a final opportunity for UCLA to gain momentum heading into the offseason, particularly after their recent losses. Meanwhile, Fresno State aims to solidify its bowl eligibility with a win.
