Familiar problems haunt UCLA during loss at Washington as bowl path gets tougher

SEATTLE — The version of UCLA that rolled into this chilly, wind-swept stadium had a throwback feel.

It resembled the team that struggled so mightily early this season.

Quarterback Ethan Garbers was constantly running from relentless pressure. The Bruins couldn’t run the ball. They forced turnovers but couldn’t do much with them. They hurt themselves with penalties. And their defense gave up too many big plays.

It added up to the end of their three-game winning streak, the Bruins falling flat for the first time in more than a month during a 31-19 loss to Washington on Friday night at Husky Stadium.
