UCLA’s rivalry game against USC will kick off at about 7:30 p.m. Saturday, the first night game at the Rose Bowl between the teams since 2010.
Police and school officials hope security measures enacted since then make the start time the only similarity between the games.
A melee involving 50 to 75 people that resulted from all-day drinking in the parking area outside the stadium led to two stabbings that left Vimal Patel in intensive care for three days with collapsed lungs. Two police officers trying to break up the scuffle also suffered minor injuries.
