UCLA football heads to the Sun Bowl to face Pitt

UCLA has faced Pitt 14 times in its history and is 9-5 against the school. Their most recent matchup was in 1972.

The Bruins finished tied for fifth in the Pac-12. Their bowl matchup was likely impacted by USC’s loss to Utah in the Pac-12 Championship Game, which knocked USC out of playoff contention and shuffled the order of the Pac-12’s bowl bids. The Las Vegas Bowl — which chose Oregon State and Florida — had also been a possible destination for the Bruins.

A win at Cal to finish the season gave UCLA nine wins — its first nine-win season since 2014. A Bruins’ victory in the bowl game would tie the program record for most wins in a season. UCLA has won 10 games nine different times. “It’s not something that’s just regularly done around here, getting nine wins,” Thompson-Robinson said after the Cal game. “We worked really hard. I’ve been here for a very long time and to see the growth and all the things that go into it is really special.”

It is not immediately clear if there will be UCLA players opting out of the bowl game. The team is expected to hold a media availability later on Sunday.
