#13 WSU falls short to UCLA, 25-17
The #13 Washington State Cougars typically higher powered offense was shut down by the UCLA Bruins in a 25-17 loss at the Rose Bowl.
After struggling all day on offense, WSU (4-1, 1-1 in Pac-12) couldn’t convert a key 4th and 1 with less than two minutes to go, to seal the victory for UCLA (4-1, 1-1). The offense could never find its rhythm, getting just 216 total yards and 12 rushing yards while being outgained by the Bruins by 266 yards.
WSU’s first drive of the day stalled on three plays, but an early interception on UCLA first drive from Sam Lockett gave the Cougs great field position to open the game despite the initial three and out.
PICKED OFF! @Lockettlll
