Damon Bankston, New Mexico Bulldoze UCLA for 298 Yards Rushing in 35

UCLA Bruins continue their worst start in history with a 35-10 loss marked by 13 penalties and no defensive sacks, as coach DeShaun Foster's halftime strategy fails to improve play.

  • The New Mexico Lobos defeated UCLA 35-10 at the Rose Bowl on Friday night, marking a significant upset.
  • UCLA entered the game as 15.5-point favorites but struggled with penalties and fell behind early, trailing at halftime for the third straight week.
  • New Mexico controlled possession for over 36 minutes, powered by star running back Damon Bankston who rushed 154 yards and scored two touchdowns.
  • UCLA's star transfer quarterback Nico Iamaleava threw a 12-yard touchdown pass midway through the second quarter, but the Bruins committed 13 penalties costing 116 yards.
  • The loss dropped UCLA to 0-3 and intensified questions about their ability to win this season, while New Mexico improved to 2-1 with a controlled offensive performance.
