The 2023 Starco Brands LA Bowl features a battle of programs that ended their regular seasons trending in opposing directions as the UCLA Bruins face the Boise State Broncos. The Broncos (8-5) overcame a 3-4 start to their season that included a coaching change and ended the season as Mountain West Conference champions. They will look to finish their memorable season with a bowl victory against a UCLA (7-5) club that failed to meet expectations. The Bruins finished eighth in a loaded Pac-12 and dropped three of their final four regular-season contests. Boise State will be without quarterback Taylen Green, who is transferring to Arkansas, while UCLA quarterback Dante Moore is in the portal as well.
