UCLA vs UNLV

Football season started two weeks ago and there is a bunch of controversy about the second annual College Football Playoff. The UCLA Bruins started true freshman quarterback Josh Rosen in their first two games. The first game of the season for the 13th-ranked Bruins was against the Virginia Cavaliers. The starting UCLA defense was strong throughout the game and currently has yet to allow a touchdown. UCLA won the game 34-16 as Josh Rosen had completed 28 of 35 pass attempts for a stellar 351 yards. The following week, UCLA football traveled to Las Vegas to take on the UNLV Rebels. Even with the loss of Eddie Vanderdoes, one of the defense's biggest players, the defense merely allowed a FIELD GOAL. Josh Rosen completed 22 of 42 passes for 223 yards. It wasn't as good as his debut, but running back Paul Perkins helped the offense as well. Last year, Paul 

Perkins was the leading rusher in the Pac-12 Conference, with 1,575 yards rushing. He continued his strong resume with 151 yards rushing and 2 touchdowns. UCLA sophomore defender Kenny Young scored his first career touchdown by intercepting a pass from UNLV quarterback Kurt Palandech and returning it for a 23-yard touchdown. UCLA won the game 37-3 to continue a good season. Tenth-ranked UCLA will play at the Rose Bowl next Saturday against the 19th-ranker BYU Cougers, whom had back-to-back surprising last-minute victories against their first two opponents. I will be atteding this game and cheer on the Bruins as they continue their, hopefully, playoff-bound football season.
