UCLA vs. Hawaii takeaways: What’s going on with Ethan Garbers?
UCLA quarterback Ethan Garbers dives forward as he is pushed down by Hawaii’s Jalen Smith, right, and Dion Washington during the Bruins’ 16-13 season-opening win Saturday. HONOLULU — Milling about outside UCLA’s locker room, sweat trickling from his forehead after a scorching afternoon in the Hawaiian sun, Martin Jarmond stopped briefly near a group of reporters to put an upbeat spin on a stickier-than-expected victory.
“Do you know what the best part of being 1-0 is?” the Bruins athletic director asked. “It gives you a chance to be 2-0.”
Indeed it does. But this team will have to play significantly better than it did in coach DeShaun Foster’s debut to get there.
