What's a coordinator-less defense to do against one of the best offenses in the country?

@latbbolch on @UCLAfootball's defensive struggles without defensive coordinator Bill McGovern latimes.com/sports/ucla/st…
When @uscfb & @UCLAFootball meet for the 92nd time, it'll be the 1st time in this series that both schools will start Black quarterbacks.

“I’m definitely proud of (Caleb) just as much as he’s probably proud of me,” Bruins QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson says.latimes.com/sports/story/2…
For bragging rights and championship hopes, #USC-#UCLA is BIG. See how it will impact the Pac-12 race and what it means in the conference tiebreaker scenarios. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st…
There may not be two college football contenders more transformed by the NCAA's transfer portal than @uscfb and @UCLAFootball
.

As a result, the proverbial bulletin-board material might hit a bit different this week going into tomorrow's rivalry game. latimes.com/sports/story/2…

"My timing was impeccable, because I got the job and I think within a week we closed the company," Bob Chapek told The Times in a September interview. That put us in an unfortunate situation." latimes.com/entertainment-…

Siblings Sophie Aldinger, 23, and Abby Aldinger, 20, who grew up in Colorado Springs and both identify as nonbinary, said Club Q is a place of love and laughter — not something that’s always easy to find for LGBTQ people in Colorado Springs.

Even if you’ve never heard Andrés Cantor’s name, you’ve heard his voice.

“Gooooooooooooooooooolllllllll!!!!”

But his legendary calling card is just a tiny part of a distinguished career - which started at San Marino High School. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Andrés' family moved from Buenos Aires to Southern California when Cantor was a teen in the late 1970.

At San Marino High, he was the school paper's sports editor and a standout midfielder on the soccer team - who also wrote stories about the team. latimes.com/entertainment-…
At 16, he landed a job as a soccer correspondent for Editorial Atlántida, an Argentine publishing company, and three years later he went to the 1982 World Cup in Spain as an intern. Four years after that, he was a fully credentialed World Cup journalist. latimes.com/entertainment-…

Over the next 28 days, the #WorldCup will bring 1.2 million people to Qatar, whose population is three-fourths the size of L.A.

There’s concern this flood of people will overwhelm a country that's had 12 years to prepare and still doesn’t appear ready. latimes.com/sports/soccer/…
Sepp Blatter, the former FIFA president who presided over the vote awarding the event to Qatar in 2010, admits it was a mistake.

“It’s too small a country. Football and the World Cup are too big for that,” he told Swiss paper Tages-Anzeiger this month. latimes.com/sports/soccer/… Image
