Isn’t UCLA located in Brentwood and USC in Inglewood? Both schools are amazing and both have beautiful campuses, but isn’t Brentwood and Inglewood slightly different?

Hi. Good question. UCLA is located in Westwood. Bel Air is immediately to the north of the campus (borders it) and Brentwood is on the west side of campus. Both are immediately adjacent to the UCLA campus on the west side of LA.
USC is is SW of downtown (DTLA) in an area called University Park, and is close to historic South Central area.
Inglewood is a little further to the sosuthwest of that.

UCLA has "next level" cheerleaders, to be sure.
Interceptions explain a lot of it. That, and Brosmer had a decent day throwing the ball.

Cool thanks for the geography lesson. I've never been west of Vegas before. Hopefully someday I can get all the way out there. Have always wanted to take hwy 1 up the coast before I get too old
Looks like penalties and TOs were UCLAs downfall in that one. They clean those up even just a little bit they make themselves a much tougher team to play. They aren't as bad as they seem.

Its a bit unusual for an inconsistent team to put together 2 performances in a row where they play a near perfect game. UCLA played incredibly well in Lincoln, and the game was still in doubt at the end. It might be hard to match that intensity and clean play 6 days later.
Also, Iowa is the opposite of Nebraska. Patient, solid defense that forces turnovers, and an offense that just keeps coming at you. That said, this is strength on strength when Iowa is on offense in that both teams have good lines. Iowa is good at running the ball and UCLA can stuff. Seems like Sully is going to have to make a couple plays with his arm.
I am guessing low scoring and grinding type of game. First one to 17 wins.

Absolutely. Feel free to message me if you'd like additional thoughts about the area. It's a big area, and California offers a lot to see. The mountains (Santa Monica, San Gabriel) close to town are really cool. Of course the ocean is here too.
I think a lot of tourists go to downtown (DTLA) and Hollywood and surmise that LA is bad. I actually wouldn't recommend staying in either area. Maybe go to Hollywood for a broadway show or something, but there are lots of really cool places near LA that are really great spots to visit.
Do it! I've been up the Pacific Coast Highway multiple times on a motorcycle and it's breathtaking.

Agree, the PCH is just fantastic. I like to ride my road and mountain bikes above the PCH near malibu on the canyon roads and the trails pretty frequently. Some fabulous views, with some looking down a couple of thousand feet to the ocean.
