UCLA cornerback Darnay Holmes positioned himself under a pass that was only his to catch.
It was intended for the sideline as a throwaway but had slipped out of USC quarterback JT Daniels’ hand early in the fourth quarter, making Holmes the lone possible recipient.
“My main thing was, make sure I catch it,” Holmes said. “I’d probably be the worst person ever if I had dropped that pass, honestly. It would have been a good sight.”
Holmes made the interception, one of several big defensive stops that helped the Bruins emerge with a 34-27 victory over the Trojans on Saturday afternoon at the Rose Bowl.
