PASADENA, Calif. (AP) – With No. 25 UCLA’s season getting grimmer by the week, Brett Hundley and coach Jim Mora just couldn’t bring themselves to embrace the usual football cliches about No. 14 Arizona’s visit to the Rose Bowl.
The Bruins (6-2, 3-2 Pac-12) need a breakthrough win, and the Wildcats (6-1, 3-1) are in the way on Saturday night.
After two losses and numerous narrow escapes this fall, UCLA is essentially out of the national title discussion. Yet the Bruins are still in the jumbled Pac-12 South race right behind Arizona, which is one missed field goal away from a perfect season.
UCLA could right many of its wrongs with an outstanding November, but one more loss would all but guarantee a mid-tier bowl game and a missed opportunity of a season.
