Dream come true

By Ira Gorawara

Tonight’s crosstown clash is a lifelong dream fulfilled for UCLA junior T.J. Harden.

The running back was once a kid in Los Angeles marveling at UCLA football and USC’s battles. Now, he’s turning dreams into reality.

“It’s everything that I have ever wanted,” Harden said.

Have a read of assistant Sports editor Connor Dullinger’s feature on the Bruin rusher and his journey to tonight’s game.
