Ethan Garbers rallies UCLA to 35-22 victory over Boise State in LA Bowl

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! The junior quarterback told coach Chip Kelly that he did not feel well enough to start Saturday’s LA Bowl against Boise State, but when Collin Schlee was injured during the third quarter with the Bruins trailing, Garbers knew he had to come into the game. Garbers threw for 152 yards and two touchdowns as the Bruins rallied for a 35-22 victory over the Broncos, giving them their first bowl victory since the Alamo Bowl to end the 2014 season. “So when Collin went down, I asked him are we ready to go, and he said he was and played fantastic.” Garbers also gave Kelly a gift after the game when he announced he would return for one more season and UCLA’s move to the Big Ten. Harden then scored the next two touchdowns — a 1-yard run off left end with 3:03 remaining in the third quarter to give the Bruins a 21-16 advantage, and a 14-yard score in which he patiently waited for a hole to develop and then broke a tackle at the Broncos’ 4.
