UCLA defense squanders Ethan Garbers’ promising first start in loss to Utah

LA Times  

UCLA quarterback Ethan Garbers throws a pass against Utah during the first half of the Bruins’ loss Saturday. I mean I’m not satisfied with anything.” Garbers’ nine-yard touchdown pass to tight end Greg Dulcich pulled UCLA to within 35-24 with 11:04 left, putting the onus back on a Bruins defense that made a rare stop to get the ball back to the offense. But on the first play of UCLA’s drive that started at its own six-yard line, Garbers got smashed in the end zone by Utah’s Hauati Pututau after Bruins lineman Atonio Mafi missed a block. UCLA’s 28-10 halftime deficit was almost entirely a function of a defense that yielded touchdowns on each of Utah’s first four drives, allowing the Utes to average 7.9 yards per play to that point.
