Two UCLA quarterbacks were injured as the Bruins unraveled during a loss at Arizona

LA Times  

Arizona linebacker Jacob Manu sacks UCLA quarterback Ethan Garbers during the second half of the Bruins’ 27-10 loss on Saturday night. “I told them it stings and it hurts,” UCLA coach Chip Kelly said, “and it stings and it hurts because they put so much into it.” UCLA finished the game with Collin Schlee at quarterback after starter Ethan Garbers left early in the fourth quarter with an apparent right leg injury and backup Dante Moore departed two series later after hitting his head on the artificial turf. Even so, UCLA was clinging to faint comeback hopes after Kain Medrano blocked a punt early in the fourth quarter, giving the Bruins the ball at Arizona’s 31-yard line while trailing 24-10. “You know, we’re trading threes for sevens and you can’t trade threes for sevens against a good offensive team like they have.” Another culprit was UCLA edge rusher Grayson Murphy, whose unsportsmanlike conduct penalty extended one Arizona drive late in the second quarter.
