UCLA Bruins football faces a season-defining moment against Nebraska, and interim head coach Tim Skipper's future hangs in the balance. With the Cornhuskers missing starting quarterback Dylan Raiola and multiple offensive linemen, this home game at the Rose Bowl has transformed from competitive matchup to must-win opportunity.

Host Zach Anderson-Yoxsimer breaks down why UCLA should dominate the injury-depleted Nebraska squad, analyzes the Bruins' realistic path to bowl eligibility through a brutal remaining schedule featuring Ohio State, Washington, and USC, and examines what went wrong in winnable losses to UNLV and Northwestern. The discussion covers Kevin Coyle's defensive game plan, Jerry Neuheisel's offensive strategy, and why the USC rivalry game might be more winnable than expected despite Lincoln Riley's reputation.

Anderson also addresses troubling comments from women's basketball coach Cori Close about her team's lack of effort and intensity, including why star Kiki Rice came off the bench in the season opener.

Tune in for an unflinching analysis of UCLA's bowl chances and what Tim Skipper must accomplish to earn the permanent head coaching position on this episode of Locked On UCLA. This is your daily UCLA Football & Basketball Podcast!
