DeShaun Foster notched his first coaching and road wins simultaneously, UCLA surviving the heat and a special teams meltdown to beat Hawaii. His first winning streak came courtesy of back-to-back triumphs over Rutgers and Nebraska as part of a brutal travel schedule in which the Bruins will log an estimated 22,048 miles.

Sacrifice is just one part of Foster’s coaching philosophy, but it’s something that the Bruins are buying into as they look to extend their win streak to three games when they play Iowa at the Rose Bowl on Friday.

Foster and the Bruins got off to an alarming 1-5 start to the year, and while not a whole lot was expected of the program in its first year in the Big Ten, their showing through their first six games was simply inexcusable.
