Serwanga Brothers Don’t Meet Until Game’s End

Whenever UCLA kicked off Saturday, the Serwanga brothers were faced with a backyard skirmish.

Kato Serwanga, the younger of the twins, was one of two California kickoff receivers, and Wasswa was installed on UCLA’s kickoff team this week, but the two did not meet. UCLA’s Greg Andrasick kicked to Deltha O’Neal all three times in the first half, then finally to Kato Serwanga in the third quarter.

His return was 23 yards, but Wasswa was blocked out of the play, and Kato was off the field for the rest of the kickoffs.

Kato finished with five tackles and intercepted a pass for the third game in a row. Wasswa had four tackles and a sack.

At game’s end, the two embraced on the field, then Kato knocked Wasswa to the ground with his chest, both of them howling.

Skip Hicks became the third Bruin to score four touchdowns in a game twice in a career. The others were Freeman McNeil and Eric Ball. Hicks is the first to do it twice in a season, adding his performance three weeks ago at Oregon.

It was his fourth time this season and seventh in his career that he had more than 100 yards.

Pat Barnes’ 435 yards set a Cal record, surpassing the 421 yards by Rich Campbell against Florida in 1980. Barnes is the first Cal quarterback to have seven 300-yard passing games in a career, and his 57 passes Saturday tied a record set by Troy Taylor against Stanford in 1989.
