Virtually no one — least of all the bettors in Las Vegas — expected the UCLA Bruins to put up a competitive fight against the Washington Huskies. Yet despite that conventional wisdom, tonight’s game came down to the final minutes thanks to Washington’s inability to capitalize on a three-score halftime lead and deliver a knockout blow during a third quarter in which the Bruins ran 28 plays. Thanks to a clutch Washington recovery on UCLA’s onside kick with 1:40 left to play, the Huskies secured a 31–24 final score and escaped from L.A. with a victory over the winless Bruins.
