UCLAs Rose Bowl Showdown: A New Coach and Offensive SurgeUCLA is heading to the Rose Bowl against UCLA, with interim coach Tim Skipper leading a three-game winning streak. However, Skipper is unlikely to secure the permanent job. The search for a new head coach is ongoing, with candidates like Bob Chesney, Jedd Fisch, Sean Lewis, and Eric Morris being considered.On offense, Jerry Neuheisel has simplified the scheme, making it easier for quarterback Nico Iamaleava and involving running backs more. Key players to watch include Iamaleava, wide receiver Rico Flores Junior, and running back Anthony Woods.Defensively, Kevin Coyle has implemented a new multi-look defense, but the Bruins still struggle with edge rush. Linebackers Isaiah Chisom and JonJon Vaughns are tackle machines, and safeties Cole Martin and Key Lawrence are standout players in the secondary.Ben Royer predicts a thirty-five to twenty-eight victory for UCLA in an exceptionally ugly game, setting them up to potentially spoil USCs season next week.
