This Saturday, the UCLA Bruins take on the UC Berkeley Golden Bears in the first game of the season where we can legitimately expect a win. After hitting a stride Saturday and only losing to the Washington Huskies by a touchdown, the improvements on both sides of the ball are definitely enough to push the Bruins to their first win of the year. But I’m reserving some of my judgements until I see this level of play show up on the field again, so we know it wasn’t just a fluke.
While we probably aren’t going bowling this year, I hope the players are learning a lot about grit, industriousness, and what it means to pull together when times are tough.
