Baylor's defense which is rank as one of the worst out of 120 college teams, kept the Bruins offense out of the end zone, and in check for most of the night. By half time the UCLA Bruins trailed Baylor 35-10, as the Bruins offense couldn't get going.
Baylor scored it's first touchdown on the night when Martin Glasco scored from 4 yards out to make the score 7-0 with 8:01 in the first quarter.

Baylor defense was doing something that were not suppose to be good at on defense, and that's stopping the run, was keeping one of the best running backs in college football under control Johnathan Franklin.`In the third quarter the Bruins had to settle for a 40 yard field goal from Ka'imi Farbairn to make the score 35-13. With 1:52 seconds left in the third quarter Martin Glasco scored from 1 yard out to push their lead up to 42-13 over the Bruins.

With no time remaining on the clock, the Bruins got one more score on the board when Hundley connected with Logan Sweet from 34 yards and that would be the final score of the game as the Baylor Bears defeated the UCLA Bruins 49-26. There will be many questions ask. The play calling from the Bruins down big kicking a field goal instead of going for a touchdown. What are you going to do about the offensive line that didn't give Brett Hundley time to set up,still had a good night.
Brett Hundley finish the night was 26/50 for 329 yards and 3 touchdowns, but i must give credit when credit is due, his number one weapon shut down Johnathan Franklin, being harass all night didn't throw an interceptions all night. Baylor's Nick Florence had a solid night was 10/13 for 188 yards and 2 touchdowns and ran the the ball 18 times for 61 yards and 1 touchdown on the ground.
