A dispatch from the front lines: I was at the game, sitting in great seats at the 40 yard line but amidst the UCLA faithful. Even by California standards, it was an absolutely gorgeous day, probably mid 80s at kickoff. As the heat mounted (we were on the sunny side) and the Cardinal death grip on the game tightened, the UCLA folks just kept getting more and more quiet. People actually started leaving towards the end of the third quarter, and when Hogan threw that dart to Owusu -- the fortyish yard play early in the fourth quarter before the field goal, it was as if half the stadium got up and left. It was all pretty delicious.
Please clear the field! The game is not over!
