What’s Bruin Show – Episode 112 – UCLA Football and the Trouble With Trojans
In episode 112 of the ‘What’s Bruin Show’, we cut up UCLA Football’s win over Oregon State and take a long, hard look at the upcoming Crosstown Showdown with the USC Trojans. We also take a look at UCLA Basketball after their 2-0 start.
In this episode, hosts Bill Shirley, Jake Merrifield and I tackle Rivalry Week as the UCLA Football team has the tiniest bit of momentum going into the Crosstown Showdown.

We then discuss the state of
after two games. Yes, it is only two games, but they made statements… good and concerning.
