UCLA is going for its first 10-win campaign since 2014 when it takes on Pittsburgh in the Sun Bowl.
The Panthers, who closed out the regular season with four straight wins, will be without quarterback Kedon Slovis, who announced his intention to transfer to BYU. Backup Nick Patti, who appears in line to start against the Bruins, also plans to transfer but he will do so after the bowl game.
Chip Kelly’s Bruins are expected to be near full strength, which should mean that quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson, running back Zach Charbonnet and receiver Jake Bobo are in line to play.
