The UCLA coaching staff has seen some significant turnover since the end of the Bruins’ first season in the Big Ten.
After parting ways with offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, the Bruins tapped former Indiana co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tino Suneri to head the offense.
This week, the Bruins added a familiar face to their offensive coaching staff.
UCLA hired former Oregon passing coordinator Demetrice Martin to lead the Bruins’ pass game and the secondary. Martin, a two-way player in college, playing receiver and cornerback at Michigan State, returns to Westwood, where he spent the 2012-2017 seasons.
In his coaching career, Martin made notable stops at USC, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, and Arizona and returned to his hometown of Pasadena, California, to reunite with the Bruins.
Though Martin will have a lot on his plate, with the unusual task of coaching two sides of the ball with the Bruins, his versatility as a coach and track record should translate in his return to Westwood.
The UCLA Bruins, as a program, will not be playing in a bowl game this season. That said, several notable Bruins will be playing in college all-star games ahead of the NFL Draft.
This week, UCLA redshirt senior cornerback Bryan Addison accepted his invitation to play in the Hula Bowl. Addison, who played a total of 67 games in the NCAA for both the Bruins and Oregon Ducks, will get a shot to impress scouts from the NFL, XFL, USFL, and CFL in January of 2025.
In 2024, Addison recorded 44 tackles, one fumble recovery, and two interceptions, with one going for a pick-six against his former team, Oregon. At 6′ 5″ and a hair under 200 pounds, Addison is truly a physical specimen who proved he could compete in the Big Ten.
With above-average size and a knack for taking down ballcarriers, Addison already profiles as a potential NFL player. With another shot to showcase his skills in Orlando, Florida, at the Hula Bowl, keep an eye on Addison’s name as the NFL Draft approaches.
Ducks fans, celebrate Oregon’s Big Ten title with 2024 Championship gear including hats, t-shirts, hoodies and more.
The undefeated journey continues for the Oregon Ducks.
In their first year as members of the conference the Ducks are champions of the Big Ten after defeating Penn State 45-37 on Saturday Night
Oregon was almost certainly headed to the College Football Playoff no matter the result of the game, but now the Ducks have likely locked up the overall No. 1 seed.

However, the Buckeyes will still have something on the line as they are widely expected to make the 12-team College Football Playoff. This game could impact their seed as they faced both teams in the regular season.
Ohio State is, right now, supposed to host a first-round game against the Tennessee Volunteers.
While that would pose a difficult match for the Buckeyes, the seeding is far from set with a packed day of conference championship games on Saturday. For Ohio State, it should be rooting for Oregon, and here is why.
The biggest debate for the next week will be OSU vs Penn State.
If Penn State loses to Oregon, should they still be ranked over Ohio State.
Both would have two losses, Ohio State beat Penn State in Happy Valley.
The one-loss Nittany Lions are currently No. 3 in the College Football Playoff rankings. If they lose, they should drop below Ohio State, especially as the Buckeyes beat Penn State in a packed Beaver Stadium earlier this season.
However, given this is the first 12-team playoff, there’s no telling how the committee will view these neutral-field battles when it comes to seeding. Nonetheless, for the sake of getting a higher seed, the Buckeyes faithful should want a Ducks win on Saturday.
Four Big Ten teams in top ten of US LBM Coaches Poll after Week 14
Wisconsin finished its 2024 season with a 24-7 loss to Minnesota in Week 14. The loss led the team to a closing 5-7 (3-6 Big Ten) record, missing a postseason berth for the first time since 2001.
The US LBM Coaches Poll is conducted weekly throughout the college football regular season, and the Badgers were far from consideration for the final two months of the 2024 season.
After Week 14, Oregon remained at No. 1 after its win over Washington, Texas moved up to No. 2 following a victory against Texas A&M, while Penn State, Notre Dame and Georgia rounded out the top five. Other top teams from the Big Ten are Ohio State (No. 8) and Indiana (No. 9).
Here’s a look at the full Week 14 US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports:
Penn State rolled past Maryland 44-7 on Saturday, and got some help from Michigan when the Wolverines beat Ohio State 13-10 and knocked the Buckeyes out of the conference championship.
