Based on UCLA’s encouraging performance against the Washington Huskies last Saturday, Bruins Nation had a heightened sense of optimism heading into this week’s game against the 3-2 UC Berkeley Bears. However, Memorial Stadium has not been a friendly place to the Bruins recently, as they have lost eight of their last nine. So how did the first half go for the Bruins?
The first half of UCLA football was all about the UCLA defense. Yes, that’s not a misprint, typo, or me hallucinating as I write this. UCLA held the Bears to barely over a hundred yards for the first half and no points.
