LOS ANGELES (AP) — UCLA fired football coach DeShaun Foster on Sunday after the school’s first 0-3 start since 2019.

Athletic director Martin Jarmond announced the move two days after the Bruins lost to New Mexico 35-10 on Friday, their second straight loss to a Mountain West opponent.
Foster was 5-10 since taking over the program from Chip Kelly in February 2024. The Bruins were beaten by Utah in their opener and by UNLV a week ago.
Tim Skipper will serve as interim coach for the rest of the season, which includes games against three highly ranked Big Ten Conference opponents.
UCLA is set to host the UW Huskies, one of its former Pac-12 rivals, in Big Ten play on Nov. 22.
