We are listed as 17 point favorites heading to BYU. With a young O-Line and a bad D I would be nervous betting on the Bruins just yet.

Brown breaks off a nine yard run on my first play as the UCLA coach.
Harold Edwards comes in and throws a 42 yard strike to Gary Brewer to put us at the BYU 29.
Burford hits Stablein for a 13 yard TD pass, nice play by WR to pull in a ball thrown behind him. 7-0 just 2 1/2 minutes into the game.

We sack the BYU QB on their first offensive play, 3 yard loss. Amazingly enough, it was a DT that broke through. Don't expect to hear the name Rachal all that often this year ...
BYU hits a 26 yard pass, moving up near midfield.
We lose our one good CB, Alvin Brown, to some kind of finger injury. It doesn't look like he will return.
After the sack, BYU rips our defense apart. They go 83 yards in 9 plays, finishing with a 15 yard TD pass. Their QBs were 6-6 on the drive for 68 yards. 7-7, 9:24 left in the first quarter.

Brown with a return out to the 43.
After a false start, Brown breaks off a 62 yard TD run. 14-7, 8:39 left in quarter.

BYU's 2nd drive isn't as effective. CB Kevin Hamilton records an interception and returns it 19 yards to their 35.

Another one play drive involving Brown - Edwards lofts a pass that Brown runs down and sprints into the end zone. 21-7, 7:12 left in first quarter. Just wow.

DE Ben Baker gets a sack on next BYU play from scrimmage. They go 3 and out.

We start at our 42.
We go for a deep pass on 3rd and 1 from 49. No dice, but we go for it on 4th and moves the chains with a pass to the TE. But he coughs it up and BYU takes over at their 47.

BYU goes 3 and out, punt into end zone.

We go three and out, ending with a sack. But a 58 yard punt pushes BYU back to their 30.

Quarter ends with a 21-7 score.

BYU is again taking names on this drive. A 22 yard pass play is followed by a 19 yard run. But a holding call pushes them back to their 33.
We lose FS Lamar Rosenbach (not a name you see every day) to a knee injury, he is unlikely to return.
BYU boots a 46 yard FG, 21-10. 12:45 left in 2nd quarter.

Brown runs it out to 45.
After a holding penalty, Burford gets the ball out to Brewer, who hurdles a safety and runs away from the defense for a 63 yard TD! 28-7, 11:41 left in 2nd quarter. We aren't big on long drives. We have 6 first downs, 250 yards, and 28 points in just over a quarter.

We snuff the next BYU drive around midfield with a 3rd down sack. DT Singletary wrapped up the QB.

Smith breaks off a 24 yard run, is up to 104 yards on 6 carries.
Burford hits TE Pettis Larscheid in stride. The big man stiff-arms a would-be-tackler and rumbles 25 yards to the one yard line.
Illegal motion takes away a TD plunge.
Backup RB Dwayne Baker takes it in from six yards out. 35-10, 4:44 remaining in half. That drive was 10 plays for 78 yards.

We lose another safety for the game to an injury. This time it is SS Noland King, who suffers a neck injury.
BYU goes 3 and out. A big punt pushes us back to our 24.

BYU forces a 3 and out by stuffing Brown on 3rd and 1.
A brutal punt (26 yards) sets up BYU at their 42 with some time to work with (1:30).

BYU is stuffed, another 3 and out. The clock runs out, 35-10 at half.

2nd half highlights/lowlights:
Q3 11:38 Brown runs in from 3 yards out. 42-10
Q3 8:33 BYU 43 yard FG. 42-13
Q3 6:35 DT Rachal forces a fumble deep in BYU territory. The ball is recovered by the Bruins and advanced to BYU 10 (had to get another Rachal mention in). The DE who recovered the ball, Joe Banducci, is injured and will not return.
Q3 6:19 10 yard TD pass from QB Edwards to TE Finlan. 49-13
Q3 2:00 BYU 38 yard FG. 49-16
Q3 0:23 Edwards throws a 32 yard TD pass to TE Larscheid. 56-16
Q4 12:05 QB Burford throws 61 yard TD pass to Brewer. 63-16
Q4 9:08 QB Edwards to WR Ben Jackson, 58 yards. 70-16
Q4 3:35 K McMullen kicks 25 yard FG. 73-16

Noteworthy Performances - where to start?
QB Jack Burford 12-16 277 yards, 3 TDs
QB Harold Edwards 12-14 236 yards, 4 TDs
RB Derrick Brown 18 rushes, 143 yards, 2 TDs. 3 rec 78 yards, 1 TD
WR Gary Brewer 5 catches, 184 yards, 2 TDs
DE Ronald Smith 5 tackles, 2 STF, 3 hurries, 1 DP, 1 FF
ILB J McCullough 6 tackles, 5 assists, 1 hurry, 1 DP, 1 INT, 1 PD

We lost time of possession, 26:58 to 33:02.

All in all, a good day at the office to start the career. And we covered for everyone who bet on the Bruins.
