The UCLA Bruins and USC Trojans face off in another edition of this storied rivalry.
The crosstown rivalry has featured top 25 teams in years past. However, this year’s game doesn’t have that high-profile of a matchup.
USC enters with a 5-5 record and UCLA at 4-6 despite a 1-5 start to the season.
On Wednesday night, UCLA coach DeShaun Foster made sure to pump up the fans with a message that has gone viral.
“We need you all to show up, come out here, be ecstatic, bring some noise so we can beat on these boys,” Foster said.
Foster then led them in a chant.
“Fours up, twos down, we all know who run this town.”
The crowd started chanting that after Foster showed them, and it sure pumped up the fans in attendance.
Kickoff is on Saturday night at 7:30 PM Pacific time at the Rose Bowl. Even with these teams in the middle of disappointing seasons, it should still be a big showdown for the LA schools.
