PASADENA, CALIF. (AP) -- Although Kevin Prince knows he sounds a little crazy, the UCLA quarterback isn't ready to acknowledge the Bruins' visit from Colorado will be their last game at the Rose Bowl this season.
Even after everything that's gone wrong while UCLA (5-5, 4-3 Pac-12) struggled to stay at .500 this season, the Bruins still have a share of the Pac-12 South division lead. If they can beat the Buffaloes (2-9, 1-6) and somehow win next week's showdown with No. 18 Southern California, UCLA would play for the conference title -- and who knows, maybe end up back in the Rose Bowl.
Sure, it's not likely. But it's something to play for -- other than coach Rick Neuheisel's job.
