UCLA is safe from another loss this week. The Bruins don’t play.
They can spend the next 10 days contemplating what to do about the lowest point of the Jim Mora era. UCLA (3-5 overall, 1-4 in Pac-12 Conference play) has lost three consecutive games for the first time since the end of the 2012 season, Mora’s first on campus. The Bruins have dropped four of five games for the first time since the end of the 2011 season, Rick Neuheisel’s last before getting fired.
Mora’s job doesn’t appear to be in jeopardy given the considerable cachet he built upon his arrival at UCLA, when he tied Terry Donahue’s school record with 37 victories over a four-season span.
