BYU Teaches Rick Neuheisel’s Finger Humility

Goodness gracious. On a day in which USC defends its #1 ↵spot in the nation, Angeleno upstart UCLA visits Provo to ↵take on BYU. That hasn’t gone well. Rick Neuheisel’s swag isn’t making the return trip to Inglewood.
↵
↵The Cougars turned a spate of Bruin fumbles and a bucket of ↵Max Hall into a 42-0 lead. BYU came in as the ↵favorite -- a ranked team (#18) fresh off a (questionable) ↵Pac-10 victory, carrying a fantastic offense. But UCLA ↵isn’t a cupcake, as Tennessee learned in Week One.
↵
↵BYU put up 35 in the second quarter alone. Hall had 6 first ↵half TD passes among his 23 completions (in 29 tries, for ↵238 yards). UCLA’s budding offense has managed 88 yards of ↵total offense, including net zero on the ground game. So ↵much for challenging Southern Cal’s Southern California ↵hegemony.

The final score is in and it ain’t pretty. It fact, it’s absolutely disgusting for UCLA, adding to the Pac-10’s bad day: BYU shuts out the Bruins, 59-0. Yes, don’t adjust your TV sets, that’s 5-9 to nothing. Sometimes “humiliating” just doesn’t do things justice.↵
