Their offensive line is really struggling to protect McKee.

Bruins defense deserves some love.

Chip Kelly with one of the worst decisions I've ever seen.

Dante Moore, one time silent verbal to Notre Dame, and verbal to Oregon has since de-committed and changed his verbal to UCLA.  He’s a DTR with much better size and a much better arm.

According to him, NIL had “nothing” to do with his de-commitment but it probably did with his father, who seems to be running his sons recruitment.

Good pick up for UCLA, if he sticks.

Pitt scores first blood but UCLA really stiffened up their defense on a 1st and goal from the 7 holding them to a field goal.

Really cool to see DTR playing in this game.  With the recent trend of opt outs in so-called meaningless bowl games, it’s nice to see a guy like DTR being a great teammate and playing in the game.

Touchdown UCLA... but they lose a receiver to a completely retarded head butt after the play for a disqualification. 

[PattyD22]

The only prayer that Pitt has in this game is to burn clock and keep sustained long drives.  Otherwise UCLA is going to score 40 on their ass.

[Blarg]

Damn, in the red zone Pitt intercepts on a pass off the fingertips. 

[Blarg]

3 Int for Pitt. This time putting them on the 18 of UCLA. 

[Blarg]

Now UCLA fumbles the kickoff after giving up 7 points. This is turning into a huge choke job when it looked like UCLA was in control of this game in the 1st half. 

[Blarg]

Holy crap, UCLA pulled their starting quarterback and he is on the sideline getting stretched. They blow the kickoff return thinking its going end zone and end up diving on it at the 5. Three and out, had to punt.

It has all gone to hell for them in the 2nd half.

UCLA hired Ken Niumatalolo in an advisory role.  Always admired Coach Ken.  Hard place to keep a winning program, but he managed to do it several times.  Good pick up by UCLA.

I think this is a fantastic hire. I've always liked him.

Heard we will also be hiring former Navy OL line coach in an administrative role. Navy's run game has always been fantastic.

I think that was what helped sway Niumatalolo to come to Westwood

That's fantastic. Definitely a Bruin family.

His dad is one of the largest human beings I have met. I always think of the Shallow Hal line about shaking hands with a bunch of bananas.
