UCLA Football Falls to 0-2 After Second Loss to UNLV

UCLA football, under second-year head coach DeShaun Foster, is struggling significantly with a slow start to the 2025 season, highlighted by back-to-back losses to Utah and UNLV where they fell behind early and failed to recover fully. Foster has publicly expressed frustration over the team's lack of discipline, mental errors, and inability to execute in the first halves, describing the performances as "unacceptable" and emphasizing the need for composure and better execution. Quarterback Nico Iamaleava showed resilience and promise with strong second-half performances but was marred by critical interceptions that cost the Bruins opportunities to tie or win games. Critics and fans alike are questioning Foster's leadership and the team's preparedness, with some suggesting a coaching change if improvement is not seen soon. Despite Foster's efforts to reinforce discipline and his praise for Iamaleava’s determination, UCLA has been outplayed, especially on the offensive line, and continues to be dominated early in games. The Bruins face mounting pressure to correct their course quickly to avoid a potentially disastrous season.
