So, THAT Is How UCLA Can Score Again
It's BYU 17, UCLA 13 at the half, and it shouldn't be this close. But BYU all but gave UCLA a touchdown on the final play of the half.
BYU fielded a punt at the 8, and one play later Harvey Unga fumbled when hit in the backfield by Brian Price. When BYU could have taken a knee at the 4 and killed the half.
The fumble was recovered by UCLA safety Dennis Keyes at the BYU 4.
After an incomplete pass by McLeod Bethel-Thompson, MBT found Brandon Breazell on a crossing pattern in the back of the end zone and threw a very nice ball -- for a touchdown.
I wouldn't expect UCLA to win this thing, because BYU has enormous advantages at quarterback and receiver.
But the Cougars have made enough ball-control errors to give the Bruins 10 points, and they're still hanging around.
And another thing: McLeod Bethel-Thompson isn't the athelte Osaar Rasshan is, but at least he can throw a football where he plans for it to land, and we can't really say that about Osaar.
Look for MBT to play in the second half. All of it.
