More From UCLA Football
I get defensive when media-types talk about the Bruins as being soft, unable to handle success, or reliably disappointing. Talk of, ‘Well, UCLA looks good, but we all know they’ll drop an inexplicable game or two before all is said and done,’ always makes my blood boil. That’s why it’s so frustrating and embarrassing and dispiriting when the Bruins play to type and validate those talking heads.
Jim Mora has undoubtedly done a lot to change the culture of the UCLA football program. It’s more professional; it’s tougher and more physical.
