At this point no one really knows the full story about UNLV starting quarterback Matthew Sluka — or, we should say, former UNLV starting quarterback Matthew Sluka, at least unless things get smoothed out and he potentially returns. There are multiple sides of what may or may not be the “truth.” Tuesday night, Sluka posted on social media that he …

The demise of the UCLA defense without their former coordinator D’Anton Lynn seems to have been premature. While the offense is still struggling to move the ball down the field consistently, the defense is still keeping teams off the scoreboard as best it can. Indiana had their way with UCLA in both teams’ Big Ten opener ans there was a …

The UCLA Bruins faced one of the strangest situations a program will have to endure this past offseason, as its head coach, Chip Kelly, skipped town for a “lesser” job as the offensive coordinator at Ohio State.
