TURNOVERS, ANYONE?--Terrance Dailey fumbles and UCLA recovers, then Craft tosses an interception to Mesphin Forrester. Hide your eyes.

MOSLEY HURT--Matt Mosley had to be helped off the field after a somewhat lengthy delay. Not a good sign.

SOME HALFTIME NUMBERS--UCLA leads 17-7 after a sloppy first half. Bruins have 167 yards of total offense to Washington's 96. Fouch is 5-14 for 31 yards and a pick. Craft is 7-10 for 73 yards and two picks. Ugly.

17-7 NOW--Kai Forbath boots a 49-yard field goal to give UCLA a two-score lead with 4:53 left in the first half.

BRUINS TAKE THE LEAD--Four Kahlil Bell runs, seven more points for UCLA. 14-7 Bruins with 11:57 to go in the first half.

HUSKIES GIVE IT RIGHT BACK--Fouch took a big hit as he was about to throw and coughed up the football. UCLA returned it to the UW 32.

TRIPPER GETS A PICK--Not a good night for Kevin Craft as he throws another interception on a deflected ball, this time to Tripper Johnson. Huskies take over at UCLA 44.

PICK, THEN SCORE--Huskies get only their fourth interception of the season, as Trenton Tuiasosopo grabs a deflection and returns it to the Bruins 11 yard-line. Brandon Johnson punched it in on a seven-yard run two plays later. Tie game, 7-7.

EASY AS YOU PLEASE--Bruins take it 80 yards on 12 plays on the game's first possession to take a 7-0 lead. Only two plays--of 19 and 13 yards--longer than 10 yards. Still, kind of alarming how easily UCLA moved it there. Actually, at this point, it's really not.

NEUHEISEL BOOED--Or maybe it was just UCLA. Still, the--ahem--greeting seemed a little heartier than the normal, so you can draw your own conclusions about who most of the jeers were directed toward.

10 MINUTES TILL KICKOFF--We'll start the game thread here as we await the Neuheisel reception. So far, there doesn't look to be a great crowd, with only about 60,000 expected. We'll see how many actually show up.
