2. vs USC Trojans (8-6, 6-3)

Game #11, Saturday, November 19

UCLA was riding high with 3-straight wins over USC. If the Bruins beat the Trojans in this 2015 game, they book their trip to the Pac-12 Championship Game. It would have been the first time the Bruins get a shot at the conference title since Mora’s first season in Westwood.

USC went to the Pac-12 Championship instead. The Trojans ran over UCLA, plain and simple. USC gets the win, the South Division and the Victory Bell.

So revenge it is then.

Clay Helton may be 0-2 as USC’s head coach at this point in time, but when these two crosstown rivals square off at the Rose Bowl at the end of the season, he might have at least one win. Either way, Trojans and Bruins get up for this game, which always makes it difficult. Unfortunately, there is another game that Will be more burdensome on UCLA.

That blasted Cardinal.
