Roth’s Legacy Lives On in Memorial Game | UCLA Bruins Football News

The Joe Roth Memorial Game returns this Saturday as Cal kicks off its season against UCLA, reviving a powerful tradition honoring the late legend who died at 21 from melanoma in 1977. Once an annual showdown against USC and UCLA, the game paused after Cal left the Pac-12 but is now back thanks to a four-year deal — with UCLA returning to Berkeley in 2028. New coach Tosh Lupoi emphasizes Roth’s enduring legacy, and players are thrilled to don throwback uniforms to pay tribute to his courage and humility.
