When Montana Grizzlies Faced Off Against Jackie Robinson and UCLA: The Untold Story That Shook College Football
In fact, UCLA’s Bruins nickname is partially due to Montana. Beginning in 1923 for five seasons, the football program went by ”Grizzlies,” not Bruins, but because Montana (1925) preceded UCLA (1928) to membership in the Pacific Coast Conference and held rights to the nickname, UCLA switched to Bruins.
Given the size of the two football programs, it’s not surprising UCLA won the seven all-time meetings between 1929 and ’46.
Montana was coming off a 6-0 shutout of Montana State when it faced UCLA on Oct. 21, 1939 at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. An estimated crowd of 20,000-plus sweated through 95-degree temperatures as the Bruins improved to 3-0-1 with a 20-6 victory.
