With today's victory, UCLA improves to a 7-4 record on the year, while USC falls to 7-5, having lost five of its past six contests.

Despite a slight hiccup in the second quarter, the Bruins maintained control and reclaimed the Victory Bell, leaving USC and its head coach, Lincoln Riley, in disarray.

“I have to do a much better job. Clearly.” - Riley

USC fans below had fun with that quote. 

Before their defeat on Saturday, the Trojans had already lost five of their last six games. In contrast, the Bruins not only halted their two-game losing streak but also delivered a much-needed triumph.

Looking ahead, UCLA aims to secure an eighth and final regular-season win in the upcoming matchup against the Cal Golden Bears.

The victory not only marked a win but also added to the Trojans' season of misery. It ended nightmarishly in what was supposed to be a season filled with joy and wins. The Bruins season didn't go well, too, but at least their biggest rival isn't successful, and that's worth something. 

The satisfaction of ending the season on a high note is palpable, and the Bruins now set their sights on concluding the regular season with another triumph. 

It was a stellar performance, and the Bruins are determined to carry this momentum into their next challenge against the Golden Bears. Let's hope this victory puts the Bruins in the right step to end the season on a high note.
