Houston Cougars vs. UCLA Bruins - Recap - September 18, 2010 - ESPN

The headline in this story ... UCLA handles Houston AFTER its QB is injured -- is a complete lie. The Bruins handled Houston from the first possession, sending them 3 and out, and when their QB was hurt, UCLA already had a sizable lead. The headline makes it sound like the injury contributed to the win. It didn't, except in so far as it may have reduced a considerable comeback attempt. The Bruins played a better first half overall than 2nd half, most of which Houston had all its starters playing, and the defense really won the game.

Goddamn misleading headline writers! Alas, typical. UCLA demonstrated the most remarkable turnaround of the season thus far, a credit to its coaches, and gets no credit for it.
