"In what could have been UCLA's last game at the Rose Bowl after 43 years of calling the place home, the Bruins unfurled the kind of showing that no one would ever want to relive or put in a scrapbook. If this was goodbye, it was a sad sendoff. There were lost fumbles, a laughably bad fake field goal that resulted in a touchdown for the other team and a dropped pass that probably cost UCLA its own score."
"There's mercifully only one game left for the Bruins this season after a 48-14 loss to Washington on Saturday night led to a fast-emptying stadium, no fond farewells in store for the home fans amid an announced crowd of 38,201 that was too depleted by game's end to boo. The site of UCLA's next home game remains as big of an unknown as its next head coach. School officials have said they are still contemplating plans for where the team will play in the future."
UCLA suffered a 48-14 defeat to Washington marked by multiple turnovers, a failed fake field-goal attempt that produced a Washington touchdown, and several costly errors. Quarterback Nico Iamaleava exited late in the third quarter after taking a crushing hit, halting his return from a concussion. The announced attendance of 38,201 thinned as the game progressed, and fans departed with no ceremonial farewells. The Bruins fell to 3-8 on the season and face one remaining game. Long-term home arrangements remain unresolved, with officials contemplating a move to SoFi Stadium despite a Rose Bowl lease through 2044.
