Stage 1 – Denial
The UCLA Bruins did not lose to Washington State 31-27 Saturday night. Josh Rosen never led his team down the field in a 10 play, 80 yard drive capped off by his 37 yard scramble to the end zone, followed by a successful two-point conversion to go up 27-24 with 1:09 to play. Cougars quarterback Luke Falk certainly did not respond by throwing a game-winning touchdown pass to Gabe Marks with three seconds remaining.
The offense certainly didn’t stall in the red zone on its first two drives.
