Momentum is everything when it comes to recruiting. Players want to know “what have you done lately?” or “how strong is your program right now?”. Both questions have been harder to answer lately for the UCLA Football program coming off a 4-8 season in 2016. Coming into 2017 there were doubts as to whether the team across town would lose a game this season and many wondered if the Bruins could even get back to 4-8.
Five weeks into the season we now have a different question. The Trojans lost pieces during the offseason and it seemed to hurt them more than many thought it would.
