UCLA appeared on the verge of salvaging the horrendous beginning to its season, rebounding from losses to Kansas State
and Stanford with wins over Houston, Texas, and Washington State. The recovery plan got derailed a week and a half ago, though, with an ugly 35-7 loss at Cal.
The Bears defense forced the Bruins to go away from their strength, rushing the ball, after UCLA fell behind 28-0 in the first half. Quarterback Kevin Prince, playing in an ill-suited come from behind role, completed 13-of-31 passes for 99 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. UCLA's ground game finished with a miserable 26 yards on 26 carries, despite a 13 carry, 54 yard performance from running back Jonathan Franklin (Prince eight carries for -32 yards).
The Bruins defense fared even worse than its offense as Cal racked up 304 rush yards (Shane Vereen 25 carries, 151 yards, two touchdowns) on 55 carries.
