1998 Texas @ UCLA - First Half

UT arrived in Pasadena with revenge for Rout 66 on their minds, so much so that the blocking sleds had the #66 jersey, bringing a healthy stock of NFL talent -- Ricky Williams, Wane McGarity, Kwame Cavil, Sean Rogers, Casey Hampton, DD Lewis, Cedric Woodard, Aaron Humphrey and Quinten Jammer. The result was again a disappointment, outmatched by a national title caliber UCLA team in full form in their first game.

First half

UCLA drives down the field on the opening drive which culminated in a reverse and WR pass by FR WR Freddie Mitchell to Brian Poli-Dixon. A highlight reel play executed with ease. UCLA 7-0

UCLA takes their next possession and with the help of a spectacular overhead catch by Dan Farmer -- thrown by Cade McNown - runs in for a 14-0 lead

UT counters with Ricky -- runs and an impressive screen pass. Ricky Brown with a nice run.The drive stalls and Stockton kicks a FG. UCLA 14-3

UCLA takes the KO return by Freddie Mitchell and another reverse with a run to set up another TD run. UCLA 21-3

Texas has a couple of solid Ricky runs but the drive stall.

UCLA takes the possession and with a long screen pass of their own sets up a TD pass where Farmer spins Quintin Jammer into an embarrassing pose for the easy TD. UCLA 28-3. Desaun Foster had his first college run included in the drive -- this talented FR RB had 59 TDs and 3300 yards rushing in his high school senior year, went on to play in the NFL.

Texas can barely execute anything outside of Ricky, so UCLA gets the ball and scores again 35-3

Combining the 1997 game (66-3) and this first half, UCLA outscores Texas 101-6

Heckuva throw by the enigmatic Freddie Mitchell. That Bruins team sure was loaded...but not as much as Ricky Williams
