There has been a lot of anticipation for the 2024 UCLA Bruins season, with an abundance of storylines from the team joining the Big Ten to DeShaun Foster’s hiring.
But the wheels are up for the Bruins, who on Thursday headed west for the Aloha State, according to a post by the team on X.
Taking on unraked Hawai’i, who took down Division II Deleware State in Week 0, the Bruins have their first test of the season. With many counting out the Bruins and predicting a sub-.500 record on the year, Saturday’s game at Hawai’i is the perfect opportunity to quiet some of their doubters.
With a recipe for success, the Bruins have a path to start their season 1-0, potentially string together some early momentum.

Predicting what the Bruins will look like in 2024 is impossible until seeing them on the field for the first time. Though expectations are low, the Bruins could very easily exceed them. On the other hand, they sink far below them.
Bruins fans are hoping it is the former.
