UCLA vs. USC takeaways: Bruins aim for resilience after fumbling away a signature win

LA Times  

UCLA quarterback Ethan Garbers delivers a pass under pressure from USC defensive end Braylan Shelby on Saturday at the Rose Bowl. “Sucks,” UCLA quarterback Ethan Garbers said after the Bruins’ 19-13 setback against USC in his final crosstown rivalry game. Here are five takeaways from a defeat that will heavily frame UCLA coach DeShaun Foster’s first season: Bad ending USC defensive end Sam Greene hits UCLA quarterback Ethan Garbers as he delivers an incomplete pass on Bruins’ last offensive play during a loss to Trojans on Saturday at the Rose Bowl. Same old story UCLA coach DeShaun Foster argues with a referee during his team’s loss USC at the Rose Bowl on Saturday. “I felt that that was something that we were lacking and missing and we’re still missing it, so we’re going to just continue to strive in the direction of discipline and eventually it’s going to get fixed.” Lost opportunity UCLA receiver J.Michael Sturdivant catches a long pass between USC cornerback Jaylin Smith and safety Bryson Shaw during the second half at the Rose Bowl on Saturday.
