UCLA can always seem to find a way to make things difficult for themselves. Penalties, drops, special teams follies, you name it, and we can do it. This first half was no different.

USC quickly opened up their first possession with an intent to run the ball. Six plays by SC on their first drive, and they ran the ball on five of them. Big play of the drive was the UCLA defense holding SC on a 3rd and 2.
