2001 UCLA Bruins football team
The 2001 UCLA Bruins football team represented the University of California, Los Angeles in the 2001 NCAA Division I-A football season. They played their home games at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California and were lead by head coach Bob Toledo. Despite a winning record, the Bruins decided not to participate in a bowl game fearing that the program would lose several hundred thousand dollars to play in a lower-tiered bowl.[1]
