The expectation going into Saturday's football game was that UCLA's many talented wide receivers would run free in UNLV's secondary.
That was hardly the case.
Not that the Rebels' defensive backs shut down those receivers in a 37-3 loss at Sam Boyd Stadium, but they made the Bruins' pass catchers work for every reception.
UCLA's longest completion was a 29-yarder to Jordan Payton, one of only two beyond 20 yards. Freshman quarterback Josh Rosen, who entering the game was getting some Heisman Trophy attention, completed 22 of 42 passes for 223 yards, averaging 5.3 yards per attempt.
