Prediction: UCLA 21, California 7
It’ll be a house divided in more ways than one Saturday.
Not only will Cal quarterback Chase Garbers be matched up against his brother Ethan – who will be on UCLA’s sidelines as the backup quarterback – but I will be watching the game in the same house as my sister, Josie, who is a Berkeley grad and a current Golden Bear graduate student.

LAS VEGAS — Seven months ago, Gonzaga and UCLA played a back-and-forth clash that lasted – quite literally – until the final buzzer. 
Neither team held a lead greater than seven points in that Final Four contest, with the advantage changing 19 times before former Bulldog guard Jalen Suggs banked in a deep 3 as the clock expired to win the game. 
Tuesday’s rematch, however, was a different story. 
No.

In his first collegiate game away from Pauley Pavilion, Peyton Watson showed no signs of missing home. 
Behind the freshman guard/forward’s career-high scoring night, No. 2 UCLA men’s basketball (5-0) defeated Bellarmine (0-5) by a score of 75-62 in its first game of the Good Sam Empire Classic in Las Vegas.

Kedon Slovis has had quite the career against the Bruins, to say the least.
In his two starts against the blue and gold, the quarterback has thrown for more than 850 yards, burning UCLA for nine touchdowns – including the game-winner with 16 seconds left in the crosstown clash a year ago.

Nearly two years ago to the day, we here at The Bruin wrote a column about Chip Kelly.
Ahead of the 2019 edition of UCLA football’s annual crosstown rivalry matchup with USC, former Sports editor Ryan Smith argued the game was Kelly’s chance at redemption after a rough first two seasons in Westwood.

UCLA football (6-4, 4-3 Pac-12) is set to take on USC (4-5, 3-4) on Saturday at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with a chance to reclaim the Victory Bell.
