Darren Andrews rose to his feet after a long reception in the first quarter. His arm outstretched, he clutched the ball in his hand before releasing it to taunt the defender he had just beaten.
A drop was once again an issue for a UCLA receiver.
This time it was intentionally letting go rather than holding on that was the problem. Andrews’ unsportsmanlike conduct penalty forced the Bruins to give back nearly half of the 35 yards he had gained on the play Saturday night against Brigham Young, prompting UCLA Coach Jim Mora to briefly bench the receiver.
