UCLA had a stroke of luck before its game against Texas even began.
After winning the coin toss and deferring to the second half, Texas chose to kick. The Longhorns’ mental lapse meant the Bruins would get the ball to start both halves.
After that, just about everything went wrong in the first half for UCLA. But a wild finish ended with the Bruins running off the field beaming, after winning 20-17.
