UCLA and USC Renew Rivalry at Rose Bowl

This Saturday, UCLA (4-6) will face off against rival USC (5-5) in the Battle for LA at Rose Bowl Stadium, marking the 94th meeting of the storied rivalry. Historically, USC has dominated the series with a record of 52-34-7 against UCLA, but the Bruins won last year's matchup 38-20. Both teams are coming off recent losses, and UCLA hopes to improve its discipline as it leads the Big Ten in penalties. The game will be televised on NBC and is significant as it also serves as the first Big Ten Conference meeting for these rivals. UCLA's new head coach DeShaun Foster, a former player, brings a fresh perspective to the rivalry, emphasizing the need for discipline amidst the intense atmosphere. The Bruins are also motivated by potential bowl game implications and the desire to continue their recent success over USC.
