"They're bad. They're really bad. They're, like, 0-12 bad. The Bad News Bruins are a quarter of their way to completing a winless season, and who's to say they won't do what no UCLA team has done in more than a century and lose every game they play? (Gina Ferazzi/Los Angeles Times) They lack discipline, they can't tackle, they can't score and their coach sounds as if he has no idea how to extract them from what he acknowledged was the lowest point in his decades associated with their program."
"He has preached discipline to his players, but he either doesn't know how to effectively deliver the message or teach them to exercise greater self-control. The Bruins committed 13 penalties during their loss to New Mexico, which cost them 116 yards. A week earlier in a defeat to UNLV, the Bruins were flagged for 14 penalties. Foster didn't sound as if he had any solutions."
UCLA lost 35-10 to 15.5-point underdog New Mexico, extending a disastrous start and raising the prospect of a historically winless season. The Bruins displayed chronic indiscipline, committing 13 penalties that cost 116 yards against New Mexico and 14 penalties the previous week against UNLV. Run defense failed as New Mexico rushed for 298 yards despite limited time from a starting back. Coach DeShaun Foster appeared overmatched and offered no clear fixes while asserting confidence. Athletic director Martin Jarmond's hiring decisions are blamed for leaving the program in crisis and increasing pressure for change.
