UCLA beats Arizona State 23-13
It was not UCLA's prettiest win.
The Bruins didn't throw all over the field like they've been doing.
There was no monster offensive performance.
In the end, though, pretty only matters in beauty pageants, and the UCLA defense did the dirty work in a 23-13 win over Arizona State.
The Bruins forced six turnovers, returning two for touchdowns, and held Arizona State to just 315 yards of total offense.
The UCLA offense was not at its sharpest, managing just 292 yards, but it was enough to win.
"We learned how not to lose a game," UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel said. "We hung in there and protected a lead. That doesn't mean you can afford to not stay aggressive. Penalties kept us from getting a little momentum down the field. But by not turning the ball over and playing sounds field-position football, we kept ourselves ahead."
An offense that could score a touchdown would be nice.
Oregon did the same thing to us when they beat us. They got a lead, and than ran out the clock for most of the second half, knowing we couldn't score back then. We did the same thing with ASU.. Smart game calling.
What does it matter...The New York Giants went to the Super Bowl without scoring an offensive TD in the 1990 NFC title game against the 49ers. It's now how u win, but as long as u win.
You're referencing a game that was played before some of our team was even born.
Much like our offense this blog has become quite the yawner. Careful or your going to end up with as many hits as your old fantasy blog.
