The first few minutes of tonight’s game were perhaps the most disastrous of Chip Kelly’s tenure at UCLA, and, really, that’s saying something.
The Oregon State Beavers moved effortlessly on their opening possession, needing only seven plays to drive 75 yards and take an early 7-0 lead.
The Bruins, starting sophomore Austin Burton at quarterback, misfired on their first drive after running back Joshua Kelley was stuffed on a fourth-and-1 dive on their own 34 yard line.
The Beavers took advantage of the Bruins’ blunder with a five-yard dash into the end zone by running back Artavis Pierce.
