UCLA football bests Rutgers 35-32 in its first Big Ten win

This post was updated Oct. 21 at 1:26 a.m. PISCATAWAY, N.J. – A career-high in single-game rushing yards.  A career-high in single-game passing yards.  A career-high in single-game passing touchdowns.  It might have taken two years of anticipation and five conference games, but behind redshirt senior quarterback Ethan Garbers, the Bruins captured their inaugural Big Ten win.  In the schools’ first-ever duel, UCLA football (2-5, 1-4 Big Ten) handed Rutgers (4-3, 1-3) a 35-32 loss in front of a 53,726 sellout crowd at SHI Stadium in Piscataway, New Jersey, on Saturday.

Golden Gophers burrow Bruins’ lead with last-minute touchdown in Rose Bowl loss

Ethan Garbers wasn’t scheduled to start an hour before Saturday’s kickoff.  But on the Bruins’ first drive, the redshirt senior quarterback took the field.  And on UCLA’s final drive – with 27 seconds left on the clock – Garbers was the team’s last hope.  However, the seasoned signal-caller was depleted of his magic tricks by the fourth quarter.  With seven seconds to play, Garbers tossed deep into the night – and right into the hands of defensive back Koi Perich – for his third interception of the game.  As UCLA football (1-5, 0-4 Big Ten) lived and died by its veteran quarterback, Minnesota (4-3, 2-2) emerged victorious 21-17 at the Rose Bowl on Saturday night.  “This is a tough loss, so this one’s going to sting a little bit,” said coach DeShaun Foster.
