Some rap, a little bit of metal and a dash of country mixed in occasionally. The only thing more varied than the UCLA pump-up playlist is their receiving corps. Eighteen different players have earned playing time for the Bruins, but no one has been more consistent than junior receiver Darren Andrews. Despite playing in all […]

UCLA football pulls together in a team effort to overpower Arizona
Takk McKinley was devastated. Not with the game – UCLA (3-2, 1-1 Pac-12) came out on top 45-24 over Arizona (2-3, 0-2 Pac-12) – but with his hair. The defensive lineman lost one of his beloved dreads just hours before kickoff and dedicated the Bruin’s first Pac-12 South game of the season to his hair. […]
UCLA football aiming to erase all doubts following Arizona win
If the Bruins could’ve stopped the Aggies and the Cardinal late in the game, they’d be 5-0. If they could just put together offense, defense and special teams in one game, they’d likely be a top-10 team, sitting atop the Pac-12 South. But instead, they’re 3-2, 1-1 in the conference with the Colorado Buffs leading […]
Bruin linebacker Kenny Young marks his presence in defense
Josh Rosen wasn’t talking about Kenny Young, but he just as well might have been. “You’re more athletic when you know what to do,” the sophomore quarterback said after Saturday night’s 45-24 win over Arizona.

This post was updated at 11:10 a.m. After only putting 14 points on the board in the first half, coach Jim Mora challenged the offense to respond. They responded and the defense continued their smothering play as UCLA (3-1, 1-1 Pac-12) stormed to a 45-24 win over Arizona (2-3, 0-2 Pac-12) Saturday night at the Rose Bowl. But the biggest change […]
UCLA football leads Arizona 14-7 after back-and-forth first half
Against the worst rushing defense in the league, the Bruins’ biggest play came in the air. Facing a swarming Arizona defense, sophomore quarterback Josh Rosen fell back in the pocket and launched the ball down field. Redshirt senior wide receiver Kenny Walker caught the ball before sprinting down the field for a 62-yard go-ahead touchdown. […]
Football scouting report: Arizona
This time last year, UCLA (2-2, 0-1, Pac-12) and Arizona were featured on College Game Day. Both teams were undefeated and ranked No. 9 and No. 16 respectively. Now they’re struggling to string together wins over quality opponents. Both the Bruins and the Wildcats are looking for their first Pac-12 win after dropping close home […]
