UCLA head coach Jim Mora has been successful for the Bruins. But is it enough?
If UCLA can win both games left remaining on schedule against Utah and USC, the Bruins will represent the Pac-12 South in the conference championship game.
With three losses, however, UCLA finishes with a ceiling of nine regular-season wins and the potential for another win or two during the postseason with bowl play and/or the conference championship. Last season, UCLA ended with a 10-3 record and a victory in the Alamo Bowl.
UCLA was also 10-3 with a win in the Sun Bowl in 2013; UCLA finished with a 9-5 record and won the Pac-12 South before losing in the 2012 Holiday Bowl during head coach Jim Mora’s first season.
