For a season full of missteps, injuries and unexpected catastrophes, it is only fitting that it ended just the way it did.

The Bruins are finding ways to make games interesting.

After five years at the helm of the UCLA football program, Karl Dorrell has been relieved of his position as coach, Athletic Director Dan Guerrero announced Monday.

For nearly 38 minutes Saturday, UCLA’s tired, beaten, injured defense went toe-to-toe with USC’s offense. They bent a little here, broke a little there, but the end result was that USC, a team predicted to beat UCLA by 20, scored just 24 points.

This was supposed to be it. The season. The big one. The one that finally got UCLA to a January bowl game. The one that finally solidified coach Karl Dorrell as the coach of the future at UCLA. The one that gave the senior class some meaning and context for their careers at UCLA.

Pat Cowan will be the starter against USC on Saturday, coach Karl Dorrell announced Thursday.

After weeks of conjecture and doubt about his return, Darren Collison played his first game of the season against George Washington on Wednesday.
