UCLA doesn't have a player on its roster that has ever played in football game in Corvallis, Ore., but if the Bruins didn't know before, they know now: it ain't anything like Los Angeles.
Forty-five minutes before kickoff, the temperature was 51 degrees with a light rain falling from the blue-gray November sky, according to Times staff writer Chris Foster, who is covering today's game.
Not bad football-playing weather. But it's not expected to get any better. The rain showers are expected to get heavier during the game.
