UCLA makes an incredible comeback getting 2 tds (w/onside kick [19 roll]) in the last 2 min of the 
game to take a 35-31 lead with :40 left.  The first drive included several long QRs and 
the 2nd drive culminated in a 16 yd td pass via the screen, a play that has been their enemy all day.

The game was a great game in the first half, Tulane UCLA

matchup worked out well in the first half. 3.7 RUSH AVG 6.4
UCLA had a lot of great QRs and had popped some 17 PASS ATT 20

dodged Bruin bullets early with help from turnovers 94 PASS YDS 177
but hurt themselves with penalties.  In the 2nd half,  1 INT THROWN 3
the game broke down a little as things got a little 1 FUM LOST 3
crazy.  Tulane quickly turned Bruin mistakes into 2 TURNOVERS 6
points.  But, the hold to a fg by UCLA was huge, as 12 PENALTIES 8
UCLA had just enough time to comeback and score 79 PEN YDS 43
just enough.  The onside kick was of course key. 1 SACKED 1
Good ball game overall.  And, that UCLA offense  -1 YDS LOST -5

I'm not sure it’s a bigger upset than the week one 17 SCORE 20

great.  ND seemed off on offense all day.  UCLA 344 TOTAL YDS 354
does a terrible job with fumble recovery, but 46 RUSH ATT 62
recovered 3 of their own today!  ND had the most 238 RUSH YDS 297

did not make plays when they really needed them. 16 PASS ATT 10
Down 13-3 early in the 3rd, the Irish responded 6 PASS COMP 5
like champs and started working their way back  118 PASS YDS 58
into the game.  They got the extra 1st down or 2, 1 INT THROWN 0
made the punts with coverage and gained a field 0 FUM LOST 1
possession advantage.  They completed a 50 yd 1 TURNOVERS 1
TD pass on a TD result on a dropback on 3rd and 18 10 PENALTIES 8
to score their first TD and make it a 3 point game. 52 PEN YDS 45
Still down in the 4th qtr 13-10, ND came back on  2 SACKED 1
another 3rd and long with a goal to go 14 yd td pass, -12 YDS LOST -1
to take a 17-13 lead.  The game was now in the hands
of their awesome defense.  ND made what all thought
to be the biggest stop of the game with a ( ) stop on
a UCLA B long run, when ND was in spread defense
versus a counter.  UCLA responded with a 36 yd B  
and was in position and had the time to make the final 
run at this upset.  On 3rd and long, UCLA got a 9 yd QR
plus a DEF 15 to give them the ball on the ND 4.  ND followed
with 2 DEF 5 penalties and UCLA was able to get it in
from the 1.  ND returned the kickoff 54 yards to the UCLA
40, but failed to move the ball.  Incredible game.  ND has
that great pass defense, but still had problems with the very
strong UCLA QR today.  Also, several QTs for UCLA turned 
into good yardage.  Strong showing for UCLA, who has a very
good offense.  ND and OU have now dropped games earlier
than expected.  This could make things interesting.  The Irish
stopped themselves on offense most of the day, (it wasn't
really good UCLA defense.)

it right back to them on the next play and PS returns that 71 yards

Texas closes to 33-31, but fails to recover the onside kick.  PS fumbles,
as they are trying to run out the clock, and Texas takes over at midfield
with 1:20 left in the game.  Texas then runs an option for 47 yards, and
