COLLEGE FOOTBALL DAILY REPORT : UCLA : Bruin Kick Coverage Not So Special
- Share via
UCLA’s special teams have been ordinary this season.
After not allowing a punt return for a touchdown since 1986, UCLA has given up two punt returns for touchdowns this season. Stanford’s Glyn Milburn returned a punt 75 yards for a touchdown in the Cardinal’s 19-7 victory over UCLA, and Oregon State’s Dwayne Owens returned a punt 97 yards for a touchdown in the Bruins’ 26-14 victory over the Beavers last week.
UCLA, which hadn’t allowed a kickoff to be returned for a touchdown since 1976, has also had problems covering kickoffs. Washington State’s Deron Pointer scored on a 98-yard kickoff return in the Cougars’ 30-17 victory over the Bruins.
