Although the season as a whole was disappointing, the UCLA Bruins (7-5; 4-5 in conference) and head coach Chip Kelly have an opportunity to shake off their embarrassing loss to Cal and earn a win in December. It would be their first bowl game win since 2014, when the Bruins beat Kansas State in the Alamo Bowl.

After much speculation, it was announced that the Bruins will face the Mountain West champions, the Boise State Broncos, in the LA Bowl. These two teams do not have a large history together. In fact, they've only played each other once ever, in 1999. UCLA came out victorious in that game, 38-7. The Broncos will have the opportunity to quell a quarter-century old grudge. Here's everything you need to know about the LA Bowl.
