The game two years ago was played in chilly, damp conditions with the smallest Rose Bowl Stadium crowd in a long, long time. Celebrating the win was difficult only because there were so few Bears or Bruin fans there, but it sure made the drive back a whole lot better.
Spread seems reasonable, Azzinaro will be bringing jail-house blitzes at the Bears. I suspect there will be a lot of chaos & havoc. And DTR is the type of QB that Cal has had issues with in the past ~ dual threat.
I'm for sure over simplifying this, but I think Wilcox's Cal teams have done pretty good job of tamping down the Kelly and Oregon style offenses. But we'll need to put up points. Can we keep the offensive execution and momentum up enough to score 30+ pts again?
I was at the 2019 game...great win! Wasn't DTR knocked out of that game? Anyway, as our defense has come back to form recently and beaten up on a few teams, I'm thinking that our D can hold UC Los Angeles. Having had success against Colorado and U$C, UCLA's offense will be thinking that their offense is back...when it was just who they played. Kind of like what we did to the Beavers...bringing them back down to the ground. Cal 38 - 24
BTW, attendance in 2019 was officially listed at 38,000 which may have been correct as to tickets sold, but the number IN attendance was no more than 15,000.

Hope it's better than last year's Covid Bowl in the stadium of Roses. I see it as something like 34-31 Cal.

Bruins FTW, they cover.
