Jaelan Phillips provided a spoiler about seven hours before kickoff.
The UCLA freshman defensive end posted on Instagram a picture of himself wearing a white uniform top with matching pants. The caption read: “All White Like I Got The Whole Thing Bleached” with a snowflake emoji and the hashtag “BeatColorado.”
The Bruins added a surprise shortly before kickoff of Saturday night’s game against Colorado at the Rose Bowl when they emerged from the tunnel with white helmets to match, completing a look they last unveiled against USC in 2011 — a 50-0 Trojans rout.
