Ethan Garbers leads UCLA to first Big Ten win with career-best game at Rutgers

LA Times  

No matter what happens over his final few college games, Ethan Garbers always can remember this glorious afternoon. “It felt great, I’m not gonna lie,” Garbers said after completing 32 of 38 passes for career highs in yards and touchdowns to go with a career-best 49-yard touchdown run that revealed his sneaky athleticism for the sold-out crowd of 53,726. After Rutgers rolled off nine consecutive points in the third quarter to pull within 21-19, Garbers offered a rebuttal two plays later, when the fifth-year senior connected with running back Keegan Jones coming out of the backfield uncovered for a 67-yard touchdown that was the longest completion of Garbers’ career. “You know, the team really rallies behind him and he’s a true team player and a real captain and a leader on this offense.” Garbers and his teammates celebrated by sprinting over to a corner of the stadium where UCLA fans were seated, players pointing to acknowledge those who made the long trip before returning to a jubilant locker room to spray each other with water and sing the fight song. With UCLA facing fourth and one on its own 18-yard line midway through the second quarter, Garbers rewarded Foster’s decision to go for it by running for two yards and a first down.
