It was a farewell to harm’s way.
UCLA will not be subjected to any further misery after its season ended Saturday evening in appropriately gloomy fashion, the Bruins faltering badly over the final two quarters of a 36-10 loss to California.
At least there would be no need to ponder the potential awkwardness of going to a bowl game with a losing record. UCLA (4-8 overall, 2-7 Pac-12 Conference) finished with its worst record since it also won only four games in 2010, which was also the last time it did not go to a bowl.
