UCLA limited Oregon State to 246 yards and forced four turnovers against redshirt freshman quarterback Nick Mitchell. UCLA and Utah both control their own destinies as they’ll face one another in two weeks, while the Trojans need to win out and hope Utah stumbles along the way. The Beavers aren’t scoring points.

“You have no chance to win games in this league if you’re gonna go out there and score 10 points and 13 points”, OSU coach Gary Anderson said.

Andersen isn’t crying raw deal.
“You get what you deserve in life”, he said. Our fans were fantastic today.
UCLA’s Soso Jamabo, center, splits a pair of Oregon State defenders on his way to a touchdown run in the second half of an NCAA football game, in Corvallis, Ore., on Saturday, November 7, 2015. Today this fight got a whole bunch tougher. Without question, it’s not where you want to be with three games left. The 6-foot-3, 240-pound linebacker is a first year starter who’s been incredibly productive for the Bruins this year and he can play several different linebacker positions for UCLA depending on where he’s most needed.
