Anthony Barr broke through the left side for an impressive 32-yard touchdown run to pull Loyola into a 7-7 tie with Mira Costa this evening at L.A. Valley College midway through the second quarter.

A promising drive had just ended for Loyola in a missed 30-yard field goal after quarterback Jerry Neuheisel suffered a three-yard loss on third down when he fumbled the football.

It was first and 10 for the Cubs at the Mira Costa 13-yard line, but Barr was held to three yards in two carries before Neuheisel’s fumble.

Neuheisel’s first varsity completion was a 16-yarder to Nat Bellamy on the play before Barr’s touchdown.

He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
