Lache Seastrunk runs like a deer (that plays football)

Just before this touchdown run, ESPN’s play-by-play man Dave Pasch said “UCLA can’t give up another score here.” And oh how we laughed, and experienced mirth because everyone watching this knew UCLA could, and indeed would allow another touchdown to give Baylor a 35-7 halftime lead.

Then laughter gave way to awe, and maybe some gigglng joy, because that is Lache Seastrunk, who is not only blisteringly fast, but also does that little Walter Payton-style kick/shift/juke when he wants to make safeties look like traffic cones. The Holiday Bowl: it’s a bowl game and an emotional buffet, albeit one where Jim Mora is only allowed to eat shame (and maybe some limp iceberg lettuce with light ranch dressing.)
