UCLA's bruin mascot has gotten a messy paint job -- in the colors of cross-town rival USC.
UCLA spokesman Phil Hampton says the statue in Bruin Square was splashed with cardinal and gold paint sometime between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
Vandals cut through a protective tarp to vandalize the statue in the middle of the West Los Angeles campus days before Saturday's annual Bruin-Trojan football game.
Workers Wednesday were trying to remove the paint.
No arrests were made, but campus police are investigating.
Meanwhile, USC students in shifts are guarding their Tommy Trojan statue, which also is under wraps.
