1997 UCLA @ Texas - Second Half

SECOND HALF

UCLA had first possession of the second half but had to punt because of a bad out of bound call on Farmer WR (see pic below). Walton starts the second half and after a couple of nice completions, UT has a penalty, then Ricky breaks free and promptly fumbles. UCLA starts at the UT 9 and Hicks goes over the top unchallenged by the bored UT defenders. 45-0 UCLA.

UT goes down the field helped by a 37 yard Hodges Mitchell run, but Wane again drops a pass, this time in the endzone. After a PI on UCLA and a Hodges run, Walton fumbles on a 3rd and 7 (the shortest 3rd down for UT in the game so far) and Phil Dawson gets the FG. 45-3 UCLA.

UCLA keeps their starters in and they go down the field easily against UT's backups with Hicks getting a rush TD. 52-3 UCLA.

UCLA pins UT inside the 5 on a long punt. UT goes on 4th down inside their own 10 and fails. UCLA punches it in with an untouched rushing TD up the middle. 59-3 UCLA.

UCLA goes Cherry picking with an INT for a TD. 66-3 UCLA.

Here's the clincher: with 4 seconds left in the game, Mackovic calls a TO. Last play incomplete. Cherry goes on to model.
