The UCLA-USC rivalry refers to the American college athletics competition between UCLA Bruins sports teams from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the USC Trojans sports team from the University of Southern California (USC). The UCLA team has won a total of 114 NCAA Division I championships. Only Stanford University, with 115, has more, while USC has the third-largest NCAA Division-team championship in 104.
Both universities are located in Los Angeles. Competition between the two is unusual in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I, because the campus is only 12 miles (19 km), and both are located in the same megacity.

USC is consistently recognized to be one of the best football programs in the country, while UCLA is consistently recognized to be one of the best basketball programs in the country. However, a rare meeting event occurred in 1954, which started with USC at the end of just two Final Four appearances in the NCAA Division I Men's 1954 Division Tournament and ended with UCLA winning their only National Football Championship.
Both schools are also successful in many "non-income" or "Olympic" sports. Both have been successful in track and field, water polo, tennis, volleyball, and golf. USC has won 26 NCAA Championships in Men's Outdoor and Men's Square, 21 in Tennis Men, and 12 in Baseball, most schools in each sport. Likewise, UCLA has won 19 NCAA Championships in Voli Putra, 11 on Softball, and 7 in Women's Water Polo, as well as most schools in the sport.

Gauntlet
The Lexus Gauntlet is the name given to the competition between UCLA and USC at 18 sports universities that both compete in head-to-head; in 2003, 2005 and 2007 UCLA won the Lexus Gauntlet Trophy, while USC won the trophy in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2009 (the first back-to-back victory). After the 2009 season, Lexus stopped sponsoring awards, and the winners have been tracked less formally. Since the end of the sponsorship of Lexus, USC has won in 2010 and 2011. UCLA won in 2012, 2013, and 2014.
Football competition
Quite often, the winner of a football game has won or shared the Pac-12 Conference (Pac-12) title in football. The berths in the Rose Bowl game have been woven many times as well for both schools. Since the establishment of the 1916 Pacific Coast Conference, which Pac-12 claimed as part of its history, USC has won or shared 37 conference titles and UCLA has won or shared 17 titles. Washington ranks third in the entire conference title with 15. Since the 1959 season, when Pac-12 was formed as the Western University Athletic Association, through the 2007 season, schools have won or shared 33 out of 48 conference titles. USC has won 17 direct championships, shared eight and went to bowl Rose Bowl or BCS 21 times. UCLA has won six championships live, sharing five and going to the Rose Bowl eight times. The schools have three times a championship share. In 2011, UCLA became the first Pac-12 South Division champion while USC held the better of the two recordings; Trojans do not qualify for postseason play that year due to NCAA sanctions. Both teams have pampered conferences and national championships take place for others.
USC is a fairly established national football force under Howard Jones and has started a major rivalry with Notre Dame when UCLA joined the Pacific Coast Conference in 1928. Sports observers from the Los Angeles Times, Braven Dyer predicted the day of the first football encounter on September 28 1929., "In the coming years, this game will probably be one of the football spectacles in the West." USC dominated the early games (so much, so after the first two games, the series was suspended for five years and they did not play one from 1931 to 1935) until UCLA established itself.
In the late 1930s, star players like Kenny Washington, Jackie Robinson, and Bob Waterfield allowed UCLA to be competitive. By employing Henry's "Red" Sanders Hall of Fame Coach, UCLA became the more dominant program in the 1950s with their only National Championship in 1954. A famous quote attributed to Sanders about the competition, the SC 'Beating' is not a matter of life or dead, that's more important than that. "
But Sanders suddenly died of a heart attack, and soon, one of the biggest college football coaches in NCAA history took over a struggling USC program. Upon the arrival of their new head coach John McKay (1960-1975), USC entered a new golden age in their storied history. During McKay's tenure, the Trojans won 8 conference titles, 5 Rose Bowls, producing two Heisman Trophy winners (Mike Garrett and O. J. Simpson) and won three National Championships (1962, 1967, and 1972) and shared one (1974). Against UCLA, McKay was hard to beat, setting a 10-5-1 record against the Bruins between 1960 and 1975.
For much of the season from the mid-1960s to the late 1970s, two schools were the top power on the West Coast with USC usually holding the top spot. In 15 Rose Bowls played from 1966 to 1980, USC or UCLA was played in 12 of them. Even with the rise of Don James' Washington Huskies in the 1980s and early 90s, UCLA or USC still went to the Rose Bowl seven times between 1981 and 1995. In the 1990s, UCLA enjoyed eight consecutive wins against USC.
The Bruins unbeaten rope ended in 1999 when the Trojan started their longest winning streak, 7, against the Bruins, although two of them won (2004 and 2005) now vacated, cutting the USC barrage to five. This unprecedented dominance was a direct result of Pete Carroll's recruitment by USC in 2000. During the Carroll tenure (2001-2009 season), the USC was almost unbeaten against its two hotest rivals, UCLA and Notre Dame. The only game that beat UCLA coach Pete Carroll's team was a 13-9 victory in 2006 at the Rose Bowl that put USC out of the BCS Championship game and allowed the Bruins to maintain a record winning streak (8) in the competition.
Game title
A number of titles have been applied to soccer games such as: "Los Angeles City Championship", "The Crosstown Showdown", "The Battle of L.A.", or just "crosstown rivalry". But nobody really gets traction. Most often these games are referred to as USC-UCLA (or UCLA-USC) football matches by the media. Certain team enthusiasts refer to it as USC game or UCLA game , using the opponent's school name.
Pre-game activity
At UCLA, the week before the game was known as "Beat 'SC Week" (officially dubbed "Blue and Gold Week"). At USC, the week before the game was known as "Troy Week" or, more popularly, "Conquest".
Both schools held a number of activities on their own campus for a week to promote the school spirit. Activities include parades, bonfires, rallies, and live entertainment.
Also, both schools took steps to prevent vandalism of two major landmarks on campus: USC wraps its Trojan Shrine (better known as "Tommy Trojan") in bubble wrap and masking tape, while UCLA covers Bruin Bear statue with a tarp that states "THE BRUIN BEAR IS HIBERNATING BEAT 'SC. ", And recently a $ 5000 wooden puzzle box. The UCLA student group known as" Bruin Bear Security Force "also camps at Bruin Plaza, pretending to protect Bruin Bear in a joke, while USC Trojan Knights held a guts for a week guarding Tommy Trojan with a "Do not Bruin your life" sign. This comes in response to students painting statues in rival schools before the game. On November 12, 2012, a photo circulating the entrance sign at UCLA was tampered with "S" painted between the letters U and C in Microsoft Paint.
There are a number of inter-campus competitions between different groups before the game.
- ROTC "Blood Bowl" - Football competition extends to military training units in both schools. Navy and Armed Forces Training Corps and cadets at both universities compete in the annual Blood Bowl football match against each other, usually held Friday before the official match, as parallel to the university match. The name comes from a game that is often rude and full of vigor by cadets and cadets that represent the pride of school. After the 25-12 victory on 3 December 2010, by the Army Battalion, UCLA continued to lead the series all the time versus USC 15-11. As for the ROTC Navy, the UCLA Bruin Battalion has clearly defeated the USC Trojan Battalion for two years and three times over the last four years.
- Daily Bruin vs. Trojan Daily "Blood Bowl" - Staff of the Daily Bruin and Daily Trojan have competed in a contest ball soccer game called "Blood Bowl". This tradition has been around since at least 1950.
- Bowl Band Ã, - From 1950 to 2000, UCLA Marching Band and Marching Band USC played in a flag football contest called "Band Bowl". While parked on the USC campus for the 2000 game, UCLA equipment trucks were burglarized with many stolen equipment and equipment. The incident ended the Band Bowl between two schools.
- UCLA vs. USC Football Manager's Bowl Ã, - UCLA and USC football equipment managers compete in flag football contests in the weeks leading up to actual soccer matches. The series was suspended in 2007 after some participants required hospital emergency room maintenance in 2006 due to injury In 2011, UCLA managers defeated USC managers in overtime triple time. The UCLA manager has won 4 previous matches.
- UCLA vs. USC Kickoff Golf Challenge Ã, - The UCLA team competes with the USC team in the best two-person ball fight.
- UCLA vs USC Men's Ice Hockey Ã, - UCLA and USC have teams that compete in ACHA Division II ice hockey. They started their series for the Crosstown cup.
- UCLA vs. USC Rugby Putra Ã, - UCLA and USC compete each year on the day after the soccer game.
- We Run 5K City Ã, - A 5 km run match held Sunday before a soccer match that benefits the Special Olympics of Southern California. Runners express their loyalty to their team during enrollment. Registration is open to all fans, students, alumni, staff, and the public. This is a family-friendly trip/road run by the Southern California Special Olympics with USC and UCLA serves as title sponsor since its inception in 2012.
Activity during game
Beginning with the 2008 season, the winners of the blood donation competition were announced during the break, with the winners donating more blood to the American Red Cross. UCLA won in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
On 13 November 2012, UCLA gave notice to the USC Marching Band that his major drum would not be allowed to stab a sword to the Bruins logo before the game at the Rose Bowl on November 17, 2012.
Share Los Angeles Coliseum
For several years, schools shared the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum as their home stadium until UCLA moved into the Rose Bowl for the 1982 season. Each school alternated as a "home" team for the match, with host fans on the north side of the Coliseum and visiting fans on the south side (press box). Until 1983, players in both teams wore their home soccer jerseys for the match. Since the 1984 season, when the game was played at the Rose Bowl for the second time, the visiting fans sat in the visitors' sections of each stadium, and the visitors wore their white shirts. Since UCLA is called the Coliseum House and USC won a number of Rose Bowl games, each school has a lifetime winning record at another home stadium today.
Beginning in 2006, the coach at the time, USC coach Pete Carroll and UCLA coach Karl Dorrell, expressed interest in restarting the tradition of both teams wearing basic colored shirts. At that time, NCAA football rules Article 3. a. states, "The opposing team players must wear contrasting shirts, and the visitors must wear a white T-shirt." USC coach Pete Carroll said he would be willing to lose two timeouts during the game so the USC team could wear their cardinal shirt for UCLA-USC football matches on December 6, 2008. It was determined before the 2008 games that visited the school would only lose one time for equipment wrong. Carroll agreed to lose the deadline to fulfill the decision and Coach Rick Neuheisel agreed to lose one, in return (though, as coach of the home team, he was not required to do so by decision) to regain this tradition, and it was updated in game 2008. After the coach's decision, the NCAA decided to change their rules about the away team uniform (originally placed to provide greater contrast to black and white photography and television broadcasting), changing the rules to state that the team must approve decisions for both teams to wearing their color uniforms before the game and that the uniform should have a color that is easily contrasted. Since the home team have been asked to wear a colored T-shirt and will not break any equipment rules, it basically makes a decision to them whether or not to allow the visiting team to wear their home uniform.
Victory Bell
When the soccer teams from these schools compete with each other, the winner is awarded the Victory Bell. The Victory Bell originally came from the South Pacific railway locomotive. It was awarded to the body of UCLA students by the UCLA Alumni Association in 1939.
It was a symbol of UCLA's victory until it was stolen by a USC organization called Trojan Knights in 1941. After being hidden in various locations for over a year before reappearing in USC student magazines (known as Wampus ), both universities took place until 1942, when the student council chair of two schools agreed that the bells would be the trophies that were awarded the winners of the annual UCLA-USC football game.
The bell itself is brass, and the metal surrounding it is painted blue or cardinal by the school that won the soccer game and gained ownership. When UCLA owns it, the UCLA Rally Committee is responsible for its protection and maintenance. Meanwhile in USC ownership, the Trojan Knights are responsible for hiding, protecting, and displaying bells (including ringing bells during a home football game). USC currently has a victory bell.
Rose Bowl
Until the Rose Bowl Game became part of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) and then College Football Playoff (CFP), a venue in the Rose Bowl to face the Big Ten Conference champions was the ultimate goal given to the then-Pacific -10 champion conference. Through the 2016 season, USC has appeared in the Rose Bowl 34 times and UCLA has appeared 12 times. During the BCS era (1998-2013), the Rose Bowl was the goal for the first team of the Big Ten and Pac-12, had failed to qualify for the BCS championship match. Since the founding of the CFP in 2014, the Rose Bowl is one of the six bowls that spins as hosts of the CFP semifinal match; in the years where the Rose Bowl did not host the semi-final CFP, the Rose Bowl Game is guaranteed to host the first teams of two conferences if they fail to be selected for the CFP semifinals.
UCLA is the first Pac-10 team to appear in the BCS bowl, the 1999 Rose Bowl, the year of their last conference championship. USC has appeared in six BCS bowl games, winning the BCS championship in 2005. With the Rose Bowl stadium being the home field for UCLA, the UCLA-USC rival football game has been played there for the best-selling crowd during even numbered years since 1982.
Before Pac-10 expanded in 2011 and became Pac-12, the Rose Bowl and conference championships were on the line for both teams 20 times and at least one team 37 times. After the expansion and division of the conference into two divisions of football, with UCLA and USC both in the Southern Division, division titles and places in the Pac-12 Championship Game have been on the line for at least one team twice. Both teams have won the championship or damaged it for another at one time or another.
Soccer series record
In the 2017 season, USC led 49-31-7 (a record including 2 USC wins emptied due to NCAA penalty for violating NCAA rules). There was one match overtime in the series in 1996. Many games from this competition ultimately determined the Rose Bowl's Pac-10 representatives and often the opportunity to play for the national championships. USC was forced to vacate both wins from the 2004 and 2005 seasons due to the violation of the NCAA.
Winning streak in series
UCLA held the longest winning streak in the series, as UCLA won eight straight games from 1991 to 1998. The longest streak of the USC was for seven wins from 1999 to 2005. But the 7-game winning streak was not recognized as several years had vacated the victory.
The 1967 "Game of the Century"

Olympic athlete
Both UCLA and USC send many athletes to the Olympics. In the last game, USC athletes are responsible for 258 Medals and UCLA athlete accounts for 241. A USC Trojan has been a Gold Medal winner in every summer Olympics since 1912. At the 2008 Summer Olympics, UCLA and USC combined athletes account for nearly one-fifth of all medals won by the United States and 499 of their combined medals will rank 9th in the list of countries.
Competition beyond sports competition
UCLA-USC competition is like some other college or university contenders. Both universities are in the same city. Both universities are in the top position in the country not only for their sporting achievements, but also for academic achievement. While UCLA has historically been seen as a more selective institution, USC has made great strides in improving its position in the university rankings. Graduate schools in both universities are the best in their field. Furthermore, graduates from both universities work together throughout Southern California. Not infrequently for couples or family members to consist of graduates from each school. Undergraduate students from one school can be found attending graduate schools and/or professional schools throughout the city. Middle schools in Southern California send some of their top graduates to both schools each year, as well as community colleges around Los Angeles. Students from every school, including athletes, can even be found together at the same house or apartment in Los Angeles.
Competition is also a microcosm of geopolitical competition based on the location of schools, the cost of attending each school, and the pattern of establishment and growth of schools.
Geographic location
UCLA is located on the Westside of Los Angeles and is located among many of the most prosperous and popular communities in Southern California: Brentwood, Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, and Westwood. Although this area is relatively remote and uneasy at the time of UCLA establishment, the decade of growth in the area around the campus meant that UCLA was hardly a suburban location.
In 2012, Bruins soccer coach Jim Mora said he sold recruits to UCLA campus location security. "I mean, we do not have a single bloc murder from our campus," Mora said. He denied he made a reference to USC, which many months earlier had two of their pupils killed near the campus.
USC, on the other hand, is located on the southern outskirts of downtown Los Angeles by Exposition Park. In the early years of the city, it was a fashionable area, but it began to become slum because rich people migrated to other suburban neighborhoods, following national trends. USC is an isolated enclave for several years and the surrounding environment has a bad reputation. Lately, with the construction of a newer city center, the area becomes connected with the city center again, although the environment remains marginal. Most of LA's major public sports facilities are located near the campus, including the Los Angeles Coliseum and the Staples Center.
Funding and attendance costs

UCLA-USC competition in popular culture
- On Jack NBC's NBC radio program from 26 November 1950 (Sunday after that season of UCLA-USC game), the episode about Jack was trying to go to the game with Mary Livingstone and Dennis Day. Jack also has a USC and UCLA trainer as a guest on his television show.
- The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 1989 was the magazine's best-selling edition of all time. On page 225 is a photo of UCLA students posing in a bikini in her bedroom, while in the background is a Bruin bear who wears a four-letter swear button directed to USC, "Fuck SC", and a poster below it that says "My Two Favorite Teams is BRUINS and Who's Playing USC. " The St. The Petersburg Times brought the photo to the attention of the magazine.
Sports Illustrated editor Mark Mulvoy replied, "You are the first person to tell me this: Twenty million people have read the matter and nobody has noticed it We did not do it on purpose. to sneak the word into Sports Illustrated I regret it. " The Register-Guard writes that the magazine was accustomed to criticism for a Swimsuit photo. The photo is too open. The newspaper publishes a cover photo of the magazine cover with the caption, "The cover of SI is OK, but page 225 is not". - In a 2005 ESPN ad, a man wearing a UCLA T-shirt opened his door in Halloween to search for a young Trojan-clad trick-or-treater. She closed the door in disgust without handing out any candy. (Commercial comedy lies in the fact that UCLA and USC fans keep a lifelong competition with each other, while staying side by side.)
- In an episode of 2006 The Old Adventure of Old Christine, Christine's ex-husband, Richard, took their son Richie to a UCLA-USC match at the Coliseum.
