PASADENA -- By the time Nico Iamaleava stepped onto the field for his final drive of the night late in the fourth quarter of his much-anticipated debut as UCLA's quarterback, the Bruins were down 43-10 and the majority of the fans still left at the Rose Bowl were all wearing red, chanting "Let's go Utah!" as if the game was being held in Salt Lake City.
It was that kind of night for UCLA. They had come into the season with the promise of a new start, a new quarterback, a new offense and a reenergized culture in head coach Deshaun Foster's second season.
