Last-Minute Field Goal Helps UCLA Football Avoid South Alabama ... (CalBearsMaven)

The Bruins trailed 17-6 in the first and 31-23 in the fourth, but came back to stop the Sun Belt magic in its tracks.

South Alabama looked like it would go up five points inside three minutes, but it elected to go for a fake field goal instead of taking the points. UCLA’s defense was about to force back-to-back punts for the first time all day, only for defensive lineman Sitiveni Havili-Kaufusi to pile on late and get flagged for unnecessary roughness. That put the blue and gold up 23-17, but they immediately handed the advantage back to the Jaguars when they marched 67 yards in eight plays thanks to a long flea flicker and another short punch in. Thompson-Robinson’s QB draw on the two-point conversion attempt came up short, however, and the Bruins remained down two points. It looked like UCLA had finally taken control of the contest when it opened the second half with a four-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that ended with receiver Kam Brown in the end zone. South Alabama went up 10-6 at that point, and UCLA looked like it had taken the lead when running back Zach Charbonnet caught a 7-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

Nicholas Barr-Mira field goal helps UCLA escape with a win over ... (Los Angeles Times)

UCLA overcame a heroic effort by South Alabama, relying on a Nicholas Barr-Mira 24-yard field goal as time expired to claim a 32-31 win Saturday.

A touchback gives South Alabama the ball at its 20-yard line early in the second quarter. The nickname surfaced Monday on the official UCLA football Twitter account. UCLA will need sharper play, particularly on offense, to match the feet. UCLA and South Alabama players dove after it. UCLA will receive the ball to open the third quarter. They had been through so much. The Jaguars then mounted an 80-yard drive capped by a La’Damian Webb 9-yard touchdown run during which the bruising tailback was largely untouched. It was the second time a UCLA touchdown was overturned by video review. After two Keegan Allen runs, Thompson-Robinson returned to Bobo, delivering a nine-yard touchdown pass that finally gave the Bruins’ offense a big energy boost. It would have been Charbonnet’s first touchdown reception of his career. The balanced, efficient drive featured two Dorian Thompson-Robinson passes and two Zach Charbonnet runs. The kicker, who was just recently placed on scholarship, hit a 24-yard field goal to win the game as time expired.

Postgame Quotes - UCLA vs. South Alabama (Sept. 17, 2022) (UCLA Athletics)

POSTGAME QUOTES UCLA 32, South Alabama 31 Pasadena, Calif. (Rose Bowl) September 17, 2022 UCLA head coach Chip Kelly on Bruins' kicker Nicholas Barr-Mira,

You go up against a quarterback like [Thompson-Robinson], one of the most-experienced quarterbacks in the country who we knew was gonna go on a two-minute drive, we felt like we needed to make it an eight-point ballgame instead of kicking the field goal. We all have the complete confidence in the world and our defense does too that we are going to get it done." We were also an inconsistent football team today, and when you go into big stadiums and have opportunities like this, you have to take care of the ball offensively and you can’t shoot yourself in the foot from an execution-standpoint offensively. But he knows that he is three in the progression, but the timing of it was perfect. “We really just wanted to go out there on first down and make it hard for them, then just control on third down. At the end of the day, it all came down to who wanted it more. We obviously found ourselves in a hole, but I think that our sideline and our guys believed every single time that we were going to win the football game. We thought that Zach had scored on the play before. They’re few and far between but you have to make the most of it. There are a lot of positives from our mindset and our competitive response that I was really proud of with our guys today.” I think that our guys handled the situation, so I am proud of that. And I think that our guys responded in a good manner today.

Troy Aikman sounded off on the horrible attendance at UCLA football games lately, saying it's "embarrassing."

Of course, if we can’t play better than we did today, it would be half-empty too." "Anyone else at UCLA think it’s time for an on-campus 30,000 seat stadium? "This is an embarrassment but we couldn’t fill the Rose Bowl in 1988 when we were the #1 team in the country," Aikman

Absolutely Nobody Showed Up To Watch UCLA Football After All ... (OutKick)

As UCLA football hosted South Alabama at the Rose Bowl on Saturday, the crowd of Bruins fans was embarrassingly small.

Take a look at some of the (lack of) scenes: In addition, the Rose Bowl is not anywhere near the UCLA campus. As a result, the student section was not large. Kickoff was at 11:00am, so traffic was likely manageable. The attendance may have been in the hundreds. Now, here’s the thing.

The Bruins are 3-0 this season, but they have yet to face a ranked opponent and won't do so until they face No. This is an embarrassment but we couldn’t fill the Rose Bowl in 1988 when we were the #1 team in the country. If the school had a stadium on campus or even significantly closer to campus, maybe more fans would attend games.

Down by two points with two seconds on the clock, the Bruins' five-game winning streak and perfect nonconference record were on the line. “As a kid, you ...

Against the Jaguars though, Barr-Mira was perfect, making all four of his attempts and connecting on a career-high 49-yard kick in the first half. “I’m down in the four-point getting ready to just run through a 300-pounder, and the next thing you know, we just heard, ‘Fake, fake, fake,’” said senior linebacker Carl Jones Jr. “We drove down the field, offense did their thing, and then Nick finished. With his fourth field goal of the game, Barr-Mira cemented the Bruins’ come-from-behind effort to claim the team’s longest winning streak since 2005 and end their nonconference slate with a perfect 3-0 record. “We love to go out there and play football, especially when the game’s on the line,” said redshirt senior quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson. The game-winning drive for UCLA started on its own 33-yard line after an errant fake field goal attempt from South Alabama. “I’d say I got a little frustrated at times,” Thompson-Robinson said. “It was very cool to embrace everybody and see everybody’s love and excitement.” Though the upset bid would be stymied once more. The ball sailed up and through the south uprights of the Rose Bowl. Time expired on the snap. You dream of having those moments.”
