Chip Kelly infamously proclaimed the best part about football is football.
Of course, that probably didn’t sound the best coming from a coach who went 3-9 in his first campaign leading UCLA football and had a record of 10-21 after two full seasons and the shortened, seven-game 2020 season.

Saturday had the makings of a childhood dream. 
Two Southern California locals playing backyard football in Pasadena – with a rainbow gracing the San Gabriel Mountains at golden hour and a pack of corgis racing in the Rose Bowl at halftime.

No. 12 UCLA football (5-0, 3-0 Big Ten) took down Oregon (3-2, 1-1) 17-15 on Saturday afternoon at Autzen Stadium for the first time since 2004.

No. 21 UCLA football (4-0, 2-0 Big Ten) is coming out of a bye week and will enter a match ranked for the first time since 2023 when it faces No.

No. 21 UCLA football (4-0, 2-0 Big Ten) has opened with a program-best start since 2022 and its first appearance in the AP Top 25 Poll since 2023 in coach Bob Chesney’s first year in Westwood.

A 75-match streak stood in the balance.
With just under four minutes remaining, center Ilias Angelopoulos gave the Golden Bears back the lead for the first time since early in the third quarter – threatening to hand the Bruins their first two-match losing streak since 2023.

The ground game: what every casual football fan hates, what every couch coach LARPer pretends they understand and what every dad wishes their son’s team would focus more on.

I thought UCLA football defeating Maryland by 51 points Saturday was a landslide, but the United States Senate’s 77-22 vote to pass the Protect College Sports Act on Monday may be a more impressive feat.

UCLA football (3-0, 1-0 Big Ten) began its conference slate with a victory last week and now has the chance to continue its win streak against Maryland (2-1) on Saturday on the road.

Nico Iamaleava will run through a wall for his team.
He will even let the wall run through him.
The senior quarterback proved it less than a year ago, when he led a game-winning drive against the Terrapins at the Rose Bowl.
