Washington football has not met expectations in Year 1 in the Big Ten and the first year under coach Jedd Fisch.
The Huskies (5-5, 3-4 Big Ten) are coming off a national championship runner-up finish in 2023 but saw coach Kalen DeBoer depart for Alabama following Nick Saban’s retirement. Washington hopes facing a familiar foe in former Pac-12 rival UCLA (4-5, 3-4) can rejuvenate its season. The Huskies lost 35-6 to No. 7 Penn State last week.
Similarly, the Bruins enter this game seeking to continue finding their footing under first-year coach DeShaun Foster. After a 1-5 start, the Bruins have won three straight, including a 20-17 win over Iowa last week. UCLA also has wins over Nebraska and Rutgers in the stretch.
Washington has won 19 consecutive home games. The Bruins lead the all-time series 42-32-2 over the Huskies, with UCLA winning 15 of the last 20 matchups. UCLA won the previous meeting 40-32 over Washington in Pasadena, California, on Sept. 30, 2022.
Fisch served as UCLA’s offensive coordinator in 2017 and was named the interim head coach after Jim Mora was fired at the end of the season.
