LOS ANGELES – The granddaddy of ‘em all. There isn’t a place quite as majestic as the concrete football cathedral that rests its old and storied bones against the hills of Pasadena.
But on Saturday night that wasn’t exactly the case. UCLA and Arizona, two of the cellar dwellers in the Pac-12 South, squared off in the historic venue in front of a half-full stadium. The Bruins came out on top with a score of 31-30, moving to 2-5 on the season as Arizona head coach Kevin Sumlin suffered his second-consecutive one-point loss to UCLA in the Rose Bowl, going back to his time at Texas A&M.
