Oklahoma Football vs. UCLA: Game preview, prediction and storylines

Historically, the UCLA Bruins have been known as an elite basketball brand and just a solid football brand. Under legendary hoops Coach John Wooden, the team dominated college basketball in the 60’s and 70’s like Alabama dominates College Football today. Although the UCLA football team has never quite been dominant in any era, they have put together a lot of good seasons, claim one national title (1954), have six former players in the NFL Hall of Fame, and one Heisman Trophy winner (Gary Beban). UCLA is also the school that took in legendary quarterback Troy Aikman after he broke his ankle and lost his job.
