Bruins Grit Shines in Season Opener | UCLA Bruins Football News

UCLA’s season opener against Cal was far from perfect, but the Bruins’ grit in the second half made all the difference. Transfer linebacker Sammy Omosigho exploded onto the scene with 14 tackles and a fumble forced on Cal’s QB — one of three turnovers UCLA snagged. Meanwhile, running back Anthony Woods lit up the field with 118 yards on just eight carries and two touchdowns, including a jaw-dropping 53-yard TD that sealed the win. His backfield partner, Wayne Knight, added 71 rushing yards, 30 through the air, and 56 as a kick returner — scoring three touchdowns total. Quarterback Nico Iamaleava had his ups and downs, throwing an interception but also delivering a clutch deep pass that set up a game-winning field goal before halftime. With these breakout performances, UCLA’s offense and defense are already looking like serious threats for the rest of the season.
