No one has even come close. Washington lost its first three games in 1963 amid a 2-3 start that ended in Pasadena on New Year’s Day. The Bruins opened the 1983 season with an 0-3-1 record before rolling off five straight wins on the way to an unlikely Rose Bowl triumph over Illinois.
What the current Bruins are attempting to do would be a feat on par with achieving a yearlong détente in the cross-town rivalry with USC.
It’s still a Mega Millions lottery long shot, but UCLA remains in position to make history after its 31-30 victory over Arizona on Saturday night at the Rose Bowl.
