Monson: BYU's magic ended by UCLA

One looked impressive, the other … well, he got a whole lot of help from his running backs.

But that matchup was one of two main storylines here. The other was the chance for BYU to demonstrate what it could do against a team that might be the best in the Pac-12, a team that was a 17-point favorite heading in.

Heading out, this is what we saw: Tanner Mangum couldn't bring the magic for a third straight time.

UCLA's Josh Rosen got off to a slow start, and stayed there, with the Bruins offense often struggling.
