was involved with two potential targeting penalties Sunday. Neither worked out in the Bruins’ favor.

Linebacker Kenny Young appeared to absorb a helmet-to-helmet blow from Hawaii tight end Metuisela Unga in the first quarter, but officials ruled the contact was only shoulder to shoulder and Unga was not penalized. A woozy Young left the game and did not return.

UCLA lost another linebacker in the fourth quarter when Josh Woods was called for targeting on a fourth-down pass to Rainbow Warriors receiver Kalakaua Timoteo that fell incomplete. Woods was ejected after officials reviewed the play and must also sit out the first half of the Bruins’ game against Memphis next week.
