Game Preview

No. 18 UCLA can reach 10 wins for the first time since 2014 against Pitt, which seeks it best consecutive finishes since 2008-09, at the Sun Bowl on Friday in El Paso, Texas.

The Bruins (9-3) embarked on the closing weeks of the regular season in contention for their first Pac-12 championship since 1998 and a berth in the College Football Playoff, but they dropped decisions to Arizona and rival Southern California by a combined nine points.

Despite falling out of the title race, the Sun Bowl provides plenty of motivation for UCLA. It is the first postseason opportunity for the Bruins in the tenure of head coach Chip Kelly, after last year’s scheduled Holiday Bowl matchup with NC State was canceled due to COVID-19 protocols.
