A season full of optimism dissolved into this. The Bruins must win out to just reach a .500 record. It’s a far cry from the team that spoke openly about playing in the Pac-12 Championship Game earlier this season.
UCLA needs to snap its four-game losing streak for a chance at bowl eligibility, facing Oregon State at 6 p.m. at the Rose Bowl. The game will be televised on Pac-12 Networks.
