PASADENA, Calif. | South Alabama football nearly pulled off the upset Saturday afternoon as it held an eight-point advantage heading into the fourth quarter, but UCLA's Nicholas Barr-Mira's 24-yard field goal as time expired gave the Bruins a 32-31 victory at the Rose Bowl.
Holding a two-point lead with just under three-minutes left in regulation, the Jaguars (2-1) decided to go for it after initially lining up for a 39-yard field goal attempt, but UCLA (3-0) came up with the sack and took over possession. Barr-Mira's field goal capped off a 10-play, 61-yard drive for the Bruins.
