As the UCLA Bruins basketball season comes to a close, the football season is just getting underway.
On Thursday, the UCLA Bruins football X page posted the dates for spring football. From April 2nd to May 2nd, the Bruins will have 14 dates open to the public to watch the Bruins practice and play.
Two dates, in particular, are starred for specific events. On April 19th, the Bruins hold their “Friday Night Lights” day, and on April 27th, the Bruins host their “Spring Showcase.”
The practices will be the first opportunity for fans to get a good look at the DeShaun Foster era in Westwood and some familiar and unfamiliar faces in the true blue uniforms.

There is a lot to like about the Bruins going into 2024. Though Chip Kelly’s tenure was unsuccessful, the Bruins have been making progress in the recruiting game. With players eager and excited to commit to UCLA, in part due to new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, the lead-up to the Bruins’ first season in the BIG 10 has been a pleasant surprise.
Will it amount to a change in the wins and losses collum? That remains to be seen. But for fans of the Bruins, April 2nd will be their first opportunity to see what changes have been made to the program in Westwood.
