GAME REPORT

FIRST QUARTER

UCLA 21, Washington 0

THE SCORING: * UCLA 7, Washington 0: DeShaun Foster five-yard run at 9:51. Six plays, 32 yards. PAT--Chris Griffith (kick). * UCLA 14, Washington 0: Foster 21-yard run at 5:52. Five plays, 85 yards. PAT--Griffith (kick). * UCLA 21, Washington 0: Jibril Raymo six-yard blocked-punt return at 2:08. PAT--Griffith (kick).

TURNING POINT: Raymo’s touchdown flipped the switch from strong start to potential blowout. Marcus Reese blocked Derek McLaughlin’s punt, Raymo scooped up the ball and the Bruins led by three touchdowns.

NOT IN THE SUMMARY: Foster’s first touchdown proved the Bruins were serious. Foster took a pitch left, followed Ed Ieremia-Stansbury’s block on the outside and bowled through two tacklers. He became the first player to score a rushing touchdown against the Huskies since Purdue’s Sedrick Brown in last season’s Rose Bowl.

STAT WATCH: The Washington ground game, averaging 142.8 yards a contest, got off to a pedestrian start, gaining two yards in nine carries. Tailbacks Willie Hurst and Rich Alexis combined for zero yards in six carries.

SECOND QUARTER

UCLA 21, Washington 6

THE SCORING: * UCLA 21, Washington 6: Todd Elstrom, 39-yard pass from Taylor Barton at :20. Six plays, 69 yards. PAT--kick failed.

TURNING POINT: UCLA had a chance to go into the locker room with a cozy 21-0 lead. Instead, Barton turned a fourth-and-three into a new game with a pretty pump fake that froze UCLA and sprung Elstrom free. The extra-point attempt by John Anderson hit the left upright and bounces away.

NOT IN THE SUMMARY: UCLA coughed up two prime scoring opportunities that could have finished the Huskies before halftime. Ed Ieremia-Stansbury fumbled at the Washington 16 after catching a short pass over the middle, and almost seven minutes later, Foster fumbled near the goal line while dragging a couple of tacklers. The ball rolled into the end zone and was recovered by the Huskies for a touchback.

STAT WATCH: UCLA’s defense remained unyielding. Of Washington’s 35 plays in the first half, 20 were for two yards or less. The Huskies lost yardage on six plays.

THIRD QUARTER

UCLA 28, Washington 6

THE SCORING: * UCLA 28, Washington 6: Foster one-yard run at 13:04. Two plays, 65 yards. PAT--Griffith (kick).

THE TURNING POINT: After a brilliant 64-yard run by Foster on the Bruins’ first play of the quarter, the Huskies appeared to get the ball back on a bungled handoff from Paus to Foster at the Washington one. But the Huskies were penalized for an illegal substitution, and the Bruins retained possession. Foster scored his third touchdown on the next play.

NOT IN THE SUMMARY: Two key UCLA starters were injured. Safety Marques Anderson was helped off the field after suffering cramps and receiver Brian Poli-Dixon left with a dislocated left shoulder after an 18-yard catch over the middle. Anderson said he will play next week against California; Poli-Dixon is questionable.

STAT WATCH: Washington runs its first option play with 1:12 left in the quarter. The Huskies usually run an option-laden offense, but went with a less risky scheme to protect Barton. Starting quarterback Cody Pickett sat out because of a shoulder injury.

FOURTH QUARTER

UCLA 35, Washington 13

THE SCORING: * UCLA 35, Washington 6: Foster 92-yard run at 4:02. Two plays, 95 yards. PAT--Griffith (kick). * UCLA 35, Washington 13: Willie Hurst one-yard run at 2:40. Seven plays, 71 yards. PAT--Anderson (kick).

THE TURNING POINT: There was no turning point, which was good news for UCLA. Washington came from behind in the fourth quarter to defeat Michigan, California and USC, but did not rally against the Bruins. The Huskies’ 12-game winning streak, the third longest in the nation, comes to a one-sided end.

NOT IN THE SUMMARY: UCLA did not ease up. Washington had first and goal from the two but failed to score, Robert Thomas batting down a pass on fourth down. UCLA took over and Foster reeled off the second-longest run in UCLA history.

STAT WATCH: Washington had been 18-0 under Neuheisel when winning time of possession. Not this time. The Huskies held the ball for 30:44 to UCLA’s 29:16.
