UCLA’s DeShaun Foster reveals senior lineman out for season

The Bruins will be without one of their veteran tackles for the remainder of the college football season.

The UCLA Bruins have struggled along the offensive line in their first season in the Big Ten. This week, head coach DeShaun Foster delivered some difficult news.

According to Tracy McDannald, Foster revealed that senior offensive tackle Jaylan Jeffers is out for the season. Injured against the Washington Huskies, the Oregon transfer will not finish out the season for the Bruins.

Jeffers’ injury comes at a time when the Bruins are fighting to get to a .500 record by the end of the season, with rival USC coming to town.

The impact of Jeffers’ injury is yet to be seen, but given UCLA’s offensive line woes, expect a significant drop off in production with the veteran tackle sidelined.

Thankfully for the Bruins, the Trojans’ pass rush has been nearly non-existent, averaging only 1.4 sacks per game and ranked 113th in college football. That said, the Bruins will need to get the quick-pass game going in order to hide their deficiency at tackle this Saturday.

USC dealing with flu ‘outbreak’ days before UCLA rivalry game

This isn’t good for USC.

The UCLA Bruins and USC Trojans face off in a rivalry game on Saturday in LA. Unfortunately, the year has not been great for either the Bruins or the Trojans.

To make matters worse for USC, Lincoln Riley mentioned the team is dealing with a flu bug going into the game, per Ryan Kartje of The Los Angeles Times.

“Lincoln Riley sounded pretty sick today when he spoke with reporters, while several USC players missed practice. Riley said the team’s flu outbreak got “a little bit” worse early this week, but he’s hopeful today was the peak of the outbreak.”

It’s a tough blow for USC, who is coming off a close win over Nebraska in Week 12. USC is 5-5 on the year after a 3-1 start, but things have turned the wrong way for USC.

If the flu bug gets worse, it could cause some issues for USC on Saturday.

DeShaun Foster estimates how many recruits will be at UCLA vs. USC

The Bruins are likely to draw hundreds of recruits as they take on rival USC.

The UCLA Bruins take on the USC Trojans this weekend, renewing one of college football’s greatest rivalries. Now, taking their rivalry to the Big Ten, the Bruins are looking for more than just bragging rights as serious bowl implications take center stage.

If that were not enough, there are tons of prospective recruits who will be in attendance. According to Tracy McDannald of UCLA Rivals, head coach DeShaun Foster estimated that upwards of 700 recruits could be at the Rose Bowl on Saturday. As a result, the Bruins have an incredible opportunity.

For prospective recruits, rivalry games are the perfect way to showcase a program’s ability, pride, and amenities. Add to that the Rose Bowl’s historic charm and UCLA could sway some undecided recruits with just one win.

At 4-6 this season, the Bruins have, in many ways, overachieved relative to expectation. With a talented 2025 recruiting class on the way, the Bruins have a chance to improve their recruiting board and take down their biggest rival at home on Saturday.

5-star QB decommits from USC after visiting Georgia

Georgia football is looking for its quarterback of the future? Could UGA land a recent USC decommitment?

Five-star quarterback recruit Julian Lewis decommitted from the USC Trojans. Lewis elected to decommit from USC shortly after visiting the Georgia Bulldogs for the Tennessee game.

USC quickly found another elite quarterback commitment: five-star Husan Longstreet, who had been committed to Texas A&M.

Lewis is a member of the class of 2025 and plays football for Carrollton High School in Carrollton, Georgia. Lewis is the No. 5 quarterback and the No. 31 recruit in the country, per the 247Sports composite. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound quarterback is the sixth-ranked recruit in Georgia.

Lewis is projected to commit to the Colorado Buffaloes according to 247Sports. Georgia and Indiana are also in the mix for Lewis.

Georgia is also targeting a four-star California quarterback commit and a four-star Mississippi State quarterback commit. The Bulldogs are looking for a replacement at quarterback for Carson Beck, who is projected to enter the 2025 NFL draft.

In 2023, Julian Lewis passed for 3,094 passing yards, 48 touchdowns and two interceptions. Lewis was named as the MaxPreps National Sophomore of the Year for his efforts in 2023, leading Carrollton to an 11-2 season and 7A quarterfinals appearance.

Lewis caught the eyes of college football recruiters with his amazing freshman season at Carrollton. Lewis helped Carrollton reach the 7A state final and set a state final record with 531 passing yards in a loss.

Has DeShaun Foster outcoached Lincoln Riley in 2024?

This is quite a turn of events.

Entering the year, DeShaun Foster was the laughingstock of the Big Ten, especially after his media day appearance.

After a 1-5 start, questions swirled even more about Foster.

However, weeks later, UCLA has won three in a row, and the crosstown rival USC Trojans have dropped to 4-5 and 2-5 in Big Ten play.

As such, a debate could be had about the Lincoln Riley vs. DeShaun Foster performances.

Matt Zemek of Trojans Wire makes an interesting argument: DeShaun Foster has outcoached Lincoln Riley in 2024.

“Yes, UCLA football coach DeShaun Foster has outcoached USC football boss Lincoln Riley in 2024. It feels jarring and disorienting to say it, but it’s true. How can it not be? UCLA has a chance to make a bowl game this season, something which didn’t seem very likely when the Bruins stumbled early and faced a daunting Big Ten schedule. USC started 2-0 this season and seemed to have a chance to achieve something. Yet, everything has spiraled for USC, all while UCLA has made steady improvements.”

USC has moved on from Miller Moss for the time being, and all sorts of questions are coming around regarding Riley’s future. On the other hand, UCLA is trending up after a brutal start to the season.
