proved it could do something besides compile a crazy comeback against Texas A&M. The Bruins also showed they could finish.
That was a persistent problem last season. In each of their first four losses, the Bruins could have tied the score or won the game in the final minute. They went 0 for 4.
A chance to force a second overtime against Texas A&M fizzled when quarterback Josh Rosen’s fourth-down pass was knocked away for an incompletion.
An opportunity to end an eight-game losing streak against Stanford crumbled when Rosen was sacked, fumbled and the Cardinal picked up the ball for a touchdown on the game’s final play.
