UCLA up 10-7 at the half
Despite an anemic passing game, the Bruins are clinging to a 10-7 lead, thanks to two fumble recoveries.
Kevin Prince, who missed nearly all of training camp, is just 5-for-17 passing for 43 yards, though UCLA wideouts have dropped six passes. Prince has struggled throwing on the run and across his body, the two throws that hurt him most while he nursed the oblique strain.
But what he hasn't done in the air, he's done on the ground. Prince's 11-yard touchdown run was the half's only score, and he baffled nearly the entire stadium on a bootleg fake.
The UCLA defense has done a decent job on star K-State running back Daniel Thomas, limiting him to 53 yards rushing and a score, and two catches for 15 yards.
As poor as the Bruins passing game has been, the Wildcats might actually be worse: Carson Coffman is 7-of-12 for just 39 yards and has been sacked four times. Patrick Larimore has done some damage, with a forced fumble, fumble recovery and a sack, and Akeem Ayers has a fumble recovery and 10 tackles.
