Cal junior Bryce Treggs, Arizona State redshirt junior Jaelen Strong, Colorado junior Nelson Spruce and Utah senior Dres Anderson are all daunting players to cover. Read more...

UCLA defense faces tough challenge in slowing down diverse USC offense

USC’s offense will be simultaneously familiar and completely new to UCLA’s defense this Saturday. The Bruins have played against teams with similar spread offenses. They’ve faced teams that run a pro-style offense. Read more...

UCLA football puts focus ahead of rivalry with USC
