LAS VEGAS — This wasn’t close, no matter what the scoreboard said. This was a full-blown debacle.
Given a chance to quickly right things after a season-opening blowout loss, UCLA instead doubled down on disappointment.
The Bruins’ 30-23 loss to Nevada Las Vegas on Saturday night at Allegiant Stadium showcased many of the same problems that had plagued them a week ago.
The defense was slow and often out of position. The offense couldn’t sustain drives. Every big play went in the other team’s favor.
Ten consecutive points in the fourth quarter did little to salvage things.
