The UCLA Bruins got to work on Monday, practicing at Socorro High School in El Paso before being treated to a BBQ dinner with Northwestern. Players also participated in a talent show, which featured athletes from both teams. Northwestern had athletes sing, lipsynch and tell jokes. UCLA had players sing, play keyboard and finished the show with a soul train dance bonanza.

On Tuesday, the football team will head to Fort Bliss to have breakfast with the members of the Army stationed there. Practice will follow in the afternoon at Socorro HS.

Players stretch during conditioning Drew Olson and the offense versus the scout defense BBQ at Sunland Park where both teams were treated to dinner (chicken, ribs, hot links, tri-tip, corn, cornbread)

JJ Hair sings "I believe in a thing called love" during the talent show. Aaron Whittington played "Ribbon in the Sky" by Stevie Wonder on the keyboard, while Justin London latered sang a song for the crowd.
