</div></div><p>It’s been a while since my last behind-the-scenes Washington gameday video. I gathered video on trips to Michigan, Wisconsin and UCLA, but two of those stadiums don’t allow media on the field at any point before or during the game, so I didn’t feel like I had enough unique content to capture your attention (and admittedly didn’t have a ton of time those weeks, and will always prioritize my writing here).</p><p>Anyway, I’m back with a look behind the scenes at this year’s LA Bowl. Hope you enjoy.
