Los Anglees natives talk about returning home for a game in Rose Bowl

Despite being the home of one of the closest Division I programs to San Diego State football, UCLA has only seen the Aztecs 22 times in almost 100 years.

Saturday will mark the first time the Aztecs are able to make the short 129-mile trip for a non-conference matchup at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena for the first time in a decade when SDSU lost 33-14.

The Aztecs recruit a lot of players from Los Angeles, which makes sense geographically considering that large pool of talent is only about a couple hours away (minus the LA traffic, of course).
