When it was announced five years ago that UCLA would play at Oklahoma in 2018, Sooner athletic director Joe Castiglione said, “We’re delighted to again add UCLA's tradition-rich program to our schedule.”

Castiglione said what he’s supposed to say, but in recent years the UCLA program has been mostly average.

In 1999-2017, while OU stacked 15 seasons of at least 10 wins and captured 11 conference titles, the Bruins had three 10-win seasons, eight losing seasons and no conference title.
