UCLA fans were relentless in expressing their feelings in the first half Saturday night.
They booed the Bruins when they punted on fourth and one near midfield. They booed tailback Soso Jamabo when he followed a six-yard loss with a run for no gain. They booed receiver Mossi Johnson after he dropped a pass. They booed their team when it took a knee in the final seconds before halftime.
The soundtrack changed appreciably in the third quarter.
There were cheers when Nate Starks, the newly featured tailback who had gone mostly nowhere in the game’s early going, ripped off a 29-yard run.
