Halftime at the Rose Bowl: UCLA 17, Cal 7

PASADENA — Think nothing of what occurred in the three weeks since UCLA’s last home game. The Bruins have picked up where they left off at the Rose Bowl en route to a 17-7 halftime lead over the California Golden Bears.

More specifically, Tevin McDonald and Donovan Carter have picked up what Cal quarterback Zach Maynard left them.

McDonald intercepted a Maynard overthrow, the redshirt freshman’s first career pick, and gave the UCLA offense the ball in the redzone.

They usually spend their days practicing as Beavers, Cougars, Wildcats or whoever the UCLA coaching staff is scheming against that week.

On the days they get to be Bruins, wide receivers Jerry Rice Jr. and Devin Lucien put on their blue and gold jerseys but take them off without breaking a sweat.
