UCLA kept away from their passing game, which 14 1ST DOWNS 12

because of the insane ball hawking pass defense 55 RUSH ATT 37

UCLA.  The Kansas D was set against the run, 3.3 RUSH AVG 3.5

Kansas was able to cap on some turnovers, 68 PASS YDS 133
returning one INT 40+ yards for a td, and Kansas 4 INT THROWN 3
led after 3, 20-10.  UCLA got some help from 2 FUM LOST 0

UCLA tied the game at 20, but Kansas was able 40 PEN YDS 61

the pat.  The Kansas defense again rose to the -24 YDS LOST -3
occasion as Kansas tacked on another FG near
the limits of their range, and sacked UCLA twice
to close things out.
Kansas is quite formidable with their defense and
will scare passing teams.  I think UCLA would do 
very well against less INT prone defenses, as they
could use their QR attack well.  It would be hard to
stack against their pass (QR) because the Bruins 
run well.  Today, Kansas could key on the run
all day without worries.

qtr 1 - 5.30 left - NU 2 yd td run.  Got the short field after backing ND back against the GL after ND had
turned it over with a fumble, then stopped NU.  Lots of close plays for NU, getting just what they needed, and 2 huge DEF penalties to help.

qtr 2 - 5.00 left - ND 20 yd FG, 10-3 NU.  A DEF 5 saved ND on a 4th and 3.  NU later saved TDs on 2 good defensive plays.
qtr 2 - 3.20 left - ND 40 yd FG, 10-6 NU.  Got the ball via INT, but went nowhere with it.
qtr 3 - 3.20 left - NU 4 yd td run, 17-6 NU.
qtr 3 - .10 left - NU 1 yd td run, 24-6 NU.

qtr 4 - 1.40 left - ND 1 yd td run, 24-20 NU.  ND got the onside kick.

The turnovers really hurt ND early.  NU's play 24 SCORE 20
in the 3rd quarter was just great.  It's nearly 16 1ST DOWNS 16
impossible to sustain a drive against the Irish, 232 TOTAL YDS 260
but NU is able to move down the field getting 53 RUSH ATT 53
chunks of yardage at a time, and finished their 149 RUSH YDS 221
opportunities well.  The Husker pass defense is 2.8 RUSH AVG 4.2
awesome, of course.  But, offensively this was 17 PASS ATT 20
ND's worst showing of the tourney, as they just 8 PASS COMP 4
didn't look quite the same.  Both defenses are 87 PASS YDS 49
great and did play excellent. 3 INT THROWN 2
