The fans still love UCLA football, as 99,569 make their way to today's game.

First drive ends after we punt on a 4th and 1 near midfield.

Beavers punt near midfield.

Derrick Brown finally has the huge run we have been waiting for, an 80 yard TD. 7-0, 9:04 left in first quarter.

We bring some heat on 3rd down and Horner throws a pick. SS Joe Lusk makes the play and we take over at our 45.

3 and out. Punt.

The Bruin defense responds by forcing a 3 and out. Horner is 1-7 for 24 yards.

We have another 3 and out. Our QBs are 3-8 for 18 yards.
The punt pins OSU at their 8.

QB Horner is injured on a running play and is doubtful to return. Even though he is having a bad game, this should be a big break for us.
OSU has to punt after the backup fails to complete his first attempt.

We counter by having QB Jack Burford hurt on a draw play. Return unlikely.
We have to punt from their 40 yard line as our drive stalled with the backup QBs.
Again the punter does his job - they start at the 5.

3 runs for OSU and a punt.

Brown picks up one first down, but we have to settle for a long field goal attempt for Wayne. He is money from 48 yards. 10-0, 9:25 left in half.

A holding penalty slows down OSU and they are forced to punt.

Brewer makes a great grab, but only for 7 when we need 10. Punt.
We get a piling on penalty on the punt, granting OSU great field position (48).

Another 3 and out for the Beavers. They only have 3 first downs with 4 minutes left in the half.

So of course we give them a break. Brown fumbles, OSU takes over at our 35.

The defense is not amused. FS Greg Moore picks off a pass on the very next play. We lost some yardage in the turnover exchange, but are elated to have the ball back.

Our clock management is horrible on the ensuing possession, but we manage to line up a 58 yard field goal at the end of the half and Wayne nails it! 13-0 at the break.

Halftime Notes:
Neither team can pass the ball. They are 5-15 for 51 yards and 2 INTs. We are 10-22 for 78 yards. If we avoid turnovers, and let Brown eat up clock, we should win this game.
Brown has 15 carries for 157 yards so far.
I'm very pleased with Wayne as our kicker.

3 and out for OSU on opening drive of 2nd half.
We start at their 37 after 18 yard return + 5 more for a face mask.

So much for no turnovers. QB Greg Moorehead is intercepted after we were inside the 20.

Oregon State picks up a couple of first downs, but can't sustain the drive. Punt near midfield.

Same story for our offense. We try to open things up around midfield by taking some shots downfield, but no such luck. Punt away.

OSU keeps getting 3rd and short and converting them. Finally we force a 4th and 1 at our 45. They pick up 15 on a tricky screen pass.
QB Steve Daniels appears to be gaining confidence.
But the drive stalls - 4th and goal at the 3. They finish a 18 play, 83 yard drive with 3 points. 7:23 off the clock and they are still down 2 scores. 13-3, 13:01 left to play.

3 runs and a punt for the UCLA offense.

Another punt for OSU. Clock is there enemy now as we are under 10 minutes.

We pick up a couple of 3rd and longs to frustrate the Beavers.
Brown hits the 200 yard mark on this drive.
The drive ends at the 32, where Wayne comes out to see if he can add to the lead with a 50 yard field goal. Yes. 16-3, 4:28 left in game.

They punt on 4th and 2 from their 36 with 3 1/2 to go. Hmm, might have needed to go for it there.

RBs Brown and Isaac Davis both put together runs of 10+ yards and we are salting the game away.
We punt from our 39 with less than a minute left and pin them at the 3.

Nice to add a win here, particularly for the home fans. Defense was terrific, but helped a great deal by the QB injury.
