(With apoligies to Brendan Loy) Go Bruins! BEEEAAAAAT the Ducks!

Third quarter, Bruins lead Oregon 6-0.

It goes without saying: Bruins beat Ducks, Trojans beat Bruins, Trojans go to Rose Bowl.

UCLA leads 6-0 . . . no, make that 9-0, as a third Duck turnover leads to a third Bruin field goal.

The Bruins--who have featured three different quarterbacks--cannot move the ball on the Ducks' side of the field, simply intercept the ball and kick it essentially in that very spot.

The Ducks--who have featured three different quarterbacks--cannot move the ball, period.

Never has a boring game been so thrilling.

Fourth quarter.

Update: UCLA intercepts, penalty takes the ball inside the twenty, whatever yokel is working with Dan Fouts says, for the third time--"You gotta go to the end zone," when clearly what UCLA needs to do is run a few plays into the line, burn the clock down, and . . .

Update: . . . Oh, never mind. Oregon intercepts in the end zone, does nothing, punts, and UCLA drives back for a touchdown. 16-0 Bruins. Game over.

And USC, which--with a win next week--goes to the Rose Bowl, has got some work to do.
