In a game marred by UCLA pass drops, penalties on both squads, turnovers on both squads, big special teams plays from both squads, and general sloppiness, the UCLA Bruins held off the Oregon State Beavers, 38-24.
Although UCLA won for the first time since October 2nd, it was a sloppy game against an undermanned Oregon State team that was decimated by injuries.
On its third play of the resulting drive, UCLA gifted a touchdown to Oregon State.
Jordan Lasley, who had had a big game for the Bruins up to that point, coughed up the football and Oregon State’s Manase Hungalu scooped it up and rumbled 40 yards into the end zone to cut UCLA’s lead to 24-21.
UCLA bounced back with a long drive, aided by two personal fouls by Oregon State, culminating in a 4 yard touchdown run by Nate Starks.
UCLA punted the football inside the Oregon State 10 yard line.
After a Beaver first down, Oregon State’s drive stalled and they punted the football back to UCLA. The Bruins took over still up by seven points, but were forced to punt.
It didn’t happen, as Randall Goforth picked off Beaver QB, Marcus McMaryion, and took the ball to the house to put UCLA up by 14, 38-24, with 2:14 remaining.
Oregon State’s final drive went now, and UCLA killed the clock to end the game.
