This is bad.
There’s no other way to spin it for UCLA after a third consecutive loss during what was supposed to be the soft part of the schedule raised a frightening prospect: Will the Bruins win a game this season?
They didn’t look capable of beating a quality high school team after dropping a second consecutive game to a Mountain West Conference opponent.
UCLA’s 35-10 loss to New Mexico on Friday night at the Rose Bowl represented a possible new low after the Bruins once again looked lost on both sides of the ball.
Fans started streaming out of the stands in earnest after New Mexico running back Damon Bankston turned a short pass into a 43-yard touchdown with 7 minutes six seconds left, breaking a couple of tackles along the way.
