Ucla Football Encyclopedia (eBook)

The history of UCLA football is a continuous story of highs and lows, ups and downs. Every year from 1919 through today, UCLA has fielded a team, and though the expectations have changed through the years, the goals have not. The single greatest goal in sports is to win your next game. When a team strings enough wins together, a magical season is born.

InUCLA Football Encyclopedia: From Tears to Touchdowns, you will read about the magical seasons, as well as the not-so-magical seasons. You will read about UCLA coaches, and the players who have left a lasting legacy.
