UCLA, meanwhile, had its three-game winning streak snapped to Washington.

“Back to the same things, penalties and turnovers," coach DeShaun Foster said after the loss vs. Washington, via UCLAWire. We just couldn’t overcome some of the stuff that was happening. Our defense played a good game, Jedd [Fisch, Washington’s head coach] had a good scheme for us."

Ethan Garbers leads UCLA. He has thrown for 2,173 yards, 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. T.J. Harden has rushed for 384 yards and a touchdown.
