Going into the 2015 season, there were two questions facing UCLA football: who would replace Randy Hundley at quarterback and would Sean "P. Diddy" Combs be charged for swinging a kettlebell at members of the UCLA strength and conditioning staff in June? The answers came soon: Josh Rosen and no.
And with Rosen at quarterback, the Bruins started the season 4-0 and made it to #7 in the polls after defeating then-ranked BYU and Arizona. But back to back blowout losses to Arizona State and Stanford bounced them from the polls. A three game winning streak against Cal (40-24), Colorado (35-31) and Oregon State (41-0) put them back into the AP Top 20 until a 31-27 home loss to Washington State sent them back to the unranked.
