Against an overmatched Stanford squad, Bruins exhibited necessary determination and focus as they get back on track with a convincing 38-13 victory.
PASADENA — Ho hum? Saturday night’s game against Stanford, the once-mighty foe that’s fallen so far in this wild new world of college football that UCLA came in as 16-1/2-point favorites — a yawner?Alert and motivated, UCLA won a big game Saturday night. One of its biggest of the season.
Still, human nature and an overmatched opponent can create a dissatisfying stew of letdown, especially when they were coming off an emotionally draining game at Oregon.They scuttled Stanford 38-13, handling business like a good team should, like a team that’s taking nothing for granted. That included Saturday’s against Stanford, which had won two consecutive games despite some tellingly pedestrian numbers; the Cardinal came into the Rose Bowl with the nation’s 94th-ranked scoring offense and 83rd-ranked scoring defense.
