UCLA 37, Houston 6 (final) After the Cougars moved into the Bruins' territory with three consecutive completions, quarterback David Piland misfired on four consecutive plays to end their hopes of scoring again. UCLA has reserve Melvin Emesibe rush three times for a first down to help run out the clock. The Bruins, ranked No. 22, improve to 3-0 with the victory while the Cougars fall to 0-3. UCLA 37, Houston 6 (3:10 left in fourth quarter) The Bruins are trying to run out the clock, but the ended up in the end zone in five plays. Steven Manfro scored on a 14-yard run. Damien Thigpen did the biggest damage, gaining seven and 41 yards in back-to-back plays. UCLA 30, Houston 6 (4:54 left in fourth quarter) The Cougars won't walk away scoreless.

UCLA 30, Houston 0 (1:19 in third quarter) Another trip to the red zone for UCLA, another field goal for the Bruins. Ka'imi Fairbairn kicked his third field goal of the night, a 33-yarder, to give UCLA a 30-point lead over -- and let's be honest -- a pretty bad Houston squad. UCLA went 25 yards in 11 plays covering 4 minutes 46 seconds. And, like the previous drive, this one was set up by an interception by the Bruins' defense, when Sheldon Price picked off a pass by Houston's David Piland. The interception was the second of the night for Price and the fourth for the Bruins. UCLA 27, Houston 0 (6:15 left in third quarter) The Bruins were close and came up short for a touchdown, but they didn't leave the red zone without some points. Ka'imi Fairbairn kicked a 23-yard field goal to pad UCLA's lead. It's his second field goal of the night. His kick was set up with an interception by UCLA safety Tevin McDonald, who returned the pick 50 yards to the Houston 10-yard line. That was the third interception of the game for UCLA, and on Houston's next offensive possession, the Bruins earned another one when defensive back Sheldon Price made his second interception of the night.
