PASADENA, Calif. (AP) UCLA has yielded 124 points in its last three games with a defense battered by injuries and frustrated by its ineffectiveness.
And now Jared Goff is headed to the Rose Bowl to try to make things even worse.
The annual UC rivalry game will do a reverse from its recent history when the schools meet again Thursday night. No. 20 California (5-1, 2-1 Pac-12) has the national ranking and conference title hopes, while unranked UCLA (4-2, 1-2) is reeling from two straight losses and clinging to its Pac-12 dreams.
The Bruins have never lost three straight regular-season games in the mostly successful four-year tenure of coach Jim Mora, who revitalized a mediocre program and turned UCLA into a contender.
