Washington State 3, UCLA 0 (9:09 left in first quarter)
UCLA’s defense took the field first and promptly was put on its heels by the high-powered Washington State offense.
The Cougars marched down the field, driving 76 yards, but were held to a 21-yard field goal by Andrew Fumey.
The Bruins didn’t help themselves by committing two personal foul penalties. But UCLA could take solace in that it didn’t allow Washington State to score a touchdown.
Pregame
UCLA will be without two more defensive starters for tonight’s game against Washington State. Neither safety Tony Dye nor linebacker Glenn Love will play.
Dye, a captain and the team’s leading tackler in 2009, has battled a nerve issue in his neck since training camp. He missed the two previous games.
It has reached the point where Dye has sought alternative treatments, including an acupuncture session on Friday.
The loss of Dye weakens a UCLA secondary that is already without cornerback Sheldon Price (knee injury) and safety Alex Mascarenas (concussion).
Love will miss his second game since injuring a hamstring in practice.
Offensive guard Chris Ward (shoulder injury), defensive tackle Justin Edison (concussion) and kicker Kip Smith (hip flexor injury) are also out against Washington State.
