To finish or be finished?
That is the question facing UCLA after a string of last-minute defeats has left it with a losing record more than halfway through the season.
The Bruins had two chances to drive for a winning score against Washington State last week and went 0 for 2. A late drive against Arizona State ended in an interception. A fumble on the final play against Stanford sealed defeat. Overtime against Texas A&M went poorly on offense and defense.
“Good teams finish,” UCLA Coach Jim Mora said Wednesday, making one wonder where that leaves the Bruins.
