UCLA Wallops No. 7 Texas Again 34-12

[depakid]

Johnathan Franklin rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown Saturday and UCLA stunned No. 7 Texas 34-12 on its home field again.

Thirteen years after the Bruins walloped the Longhorns 66-3 in the same stadium, UCLA sent Texas fans heading to the exits early by forcing four first-half turnovers, then letting its grinding ground game chew up the second.

The Bruins (2-2) ran for 264 of their 291 total yards. Quarterback Kevin Prince's 38-yard touchdown run in the third quarter put the game away against a Texas offense that misfired all afternoon.

After starting 0-2, including a 35-0 loss to Pac-10 rival Stanford, the Bruins have consecutive wins over Top 25 opponents.

Texas (3-1) lost its first home game since 2007 against Kansas State and scored its fewest points at home since a 12-7 loss to Texas A&M in 2006.

Texas fans looking for payback for the "Rout 66" game in 1997 never got even a glimpse of revenge in this one.

3. Yepper. I see you got that TCU avatar up.

You'll be like Greg Louganis doing a triple pike diving off that Longhorn bandwagon.

6. Don't forget the first attempt at revenge

Texas visited UCLA in early season '98, a year after the 66-3 game. They had Ricky Williams. All week in Las Vegas I heard revenge crap.

Meanwhile, it was 35-3 UCLA at halftime. :rofl:

I forget the final score. Texas desperately piled on some meaningless scores late. My first half anti-revenge ticket had long since been cashed. :)

7. UCLA beat Texas 49-31 in the Rose Bowl on Sept. 12, 1998

and now it's one more time - in Austin

Worst Texas home loss = to UCLA
Second worst Texas home loss = to UCLA
