USC fans would love to see UCLA fail, but will it actually happen?
It's in USC's best interest for Bob Chesney to fail, but it's in the best interest of Los Angeles college football for UCLA to be good again
USC football fans would love to see UCLA continue to struggle, but a recent article from Trojans Wire suggests that may not be the case. The Bruins are expected to have a winnable season in 2026, with analyst Matt Zemek predicting six victories. Zemek believes UCLA could beat San Diego State, Purdue, Wisconsin, Maryland, Michigan State, and Nevada, with only one additional win needed for a 7-5 record.
In addition to these games, UCLA has potential paths to victories against Cal, Minnesota, and Illinois. While USC is considered a favorite to finish the season with a winning record, UCLA's manageable schedule and the possibility of a bowl bid make them a competitive team. The article raises the question of whether UCLA can challenge USC for supremacy in Los Angeles, while also hinting at the potential impact of a stumbling Bob Chesney.
