UCLA 41, Oregon State 0: Defensive end Takkarist McKinley

UCLA defensive end Takkarist McKinley had two of UCLA’s three sacks on Oregon State quarterback Nick Mitchell in the Bruins’ 41-0 win on Saturday.

The former JUCO transfer had entered the weekend with just 1.5 sacks. His performance against the Beavers, who had given up only 13 sacks through eight games, only pushed him to dwell on his missed opportunities earlier this season.

“I feel like I should be in double digits,” McKinley said. “I feel like I missed about four at Cal. Missed one at UNLV. Missed a couple at BYU. We preach, ‘Finish, finish, finish.’ Just gotta finish better. Those are crucial plays. I feel like I did pretty good today, though.”
