Costly mistake by Illinois
Illinois can’t afford a breakdown like that against UCLA tonight at the Rose Bowl. Giving up a play like that on 3rd-and-long is absolutely inexcusable pic.twitter.com/QW3Eyu8EAH

Rainy day in Pasadena
The Illinois vs. UCLA game looks like they moved the game North to Oregon for some rainy weather. LOTS of rain for an LA game and everyone looks miserable

Backup QB to legit UCLA stud
Ty Dieffenbach has matured and grown so much since he first came in for Iamaleava. He’s making this UCLA squad truly legit.

Bruins need the run game back
Ucla needs to find success in the running game again. Its been absent for the 2nd half of the season. Will need that come playoff time.

UCLA stars shine bright
How many teams have an offensive-defensive duo playing as well as Aiden Mizell and Sammy Omisigho for UCLA?

I’m not sure there’s one honestly
Was Scooter Jackson the WR or DB?
The UCLA DB literally looked like he was the wide receiver. If you didn’t watch the LOS, you’d have no idea who was the offensive player

UCLA's coaching staff putting in work
I don’t know how talented UCLA is but damn if they ain’t well coached. Chesney and his guys are damn good.

Mizell is on fire!
Hottest WR rn is Aiden Mizell from UCLA

Frustrating football
ILL v UCLA is exactly the kind of frustration you get with college football. Sure it’s exciting to have a one yard line turn over but when both teams fumble their drives and can’t deliver oof

Not a contender?
UCLA does not look like a national champion contender

Is that even possible?
Wayne Knight getting stuffed near the goal line doesn’t feel real. Fourth down pending for UCLA as the half nears an end

Bruins playing with their food
UCLA is letting Illinois hang around.

Dieffenbach gets hit hard
Bro… UCLA can’t lose another QB 🙏🏾

Defense adds another interception
UCLA brings Ta’Shawn James on the blitz and Derrick Barksdale makes an incredible INT.

UCLA’s defense is so much fun to watch. Coordinator Colin Hitschler is one of the best in the business. Sixth nationally in havoc rate (21.2%) pic.twitter.com/KCnhBe9t9Y
Big Ten Bruins
I questioned why UCLA would punt from the Illinois 34. The defense just vindicated that decision. The Bruins are playing real Big 10 football 😂

UCLA's special defense
I don’t think Illinois offense is great by any means but this UCLA defense is special

Bruins get a safety
BRUIN BULLIES

UCLA's Curt Cignetti
Bob Chesney might, JUST MIGHT, be Curt Cignetti 2.0!!

He's turned UCLA from being a walking doormat of College Football into a mighty army of Sentinels that stop for nothing!!
Dieffenbach returns

Bruins extend the lead
Great throw by Ty and great catch by Semaj! UCLA really needed that! 🙌🙏😎 #UCLA#4sUPhttps://t.co/zxJ0XI6UOD

Wayne Knight TD loading?
I understand take what the defense gives you, but we do need to get Wayne Knight a TD so he can break the UCLA record for most consecutive games with a TD (10).

Difference-maker Dieffenbach
Ty is the difference maker for UCLA…coming back after seemingly getting the wind knocked out of him before halftime https://t.co/SC1Ffe5gmK

Can't give opponents chances
UCLA needs to learn to put teams away. They always let them hang around even after outplaying them by a ridiculous amount.

Roaring to the College Football Playoffs
UCLA survived a scare from Illinois to remain perfect and they are now 10-0. It was a very tough game, but they ended up winning by 8.
