The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> football team<\/a> ended just short of upsetting UCLA<\/abbr> on national television, falling 16-13 Saturday before a sellout crowd of 15,194 at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex.<\/p>\n

Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> and UCLA<\/abbr> were tied with a minute left to play, when UCLA<\/abbr> kicker Mateen Bhaghani sealed the Bruins win with a 32-yard game winning field goal. It was the first time UCLA<\/abbr> took the lead in the game.<\/p>\n

The game was UH<\/abbr>‘s first sold-out football game in the expanded Ching Athletics Complex. Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> previously sold out three games in 2022 when the stadium capacity was 9,346.<\/p>\n

Brayden Schager threw for 227 yards and a touchdown pass on 25-of-42 passing with two interceptions. Pofele Ashlock caught Schager’s touchdown pass, along with a game-high 112 receiving yards on nine receptions.<\/p>\n

The UH<\/abbr> defense shined, holding UCLA<\/abbr> scoreless in the first half. Logan Taylor and Jalen Smith each picked off Bruins quarterback Ethan Garbers in the first half, and the defense held the UCLA<\/abbr> rushing attack to just 71 yards on the game. The Bruins scored just one touchdown, as Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> held UCLA<\/abbr> to three second-half field goals.<\/p>\n

Peter Manuma led the Warriors with a game-best eight tackles, including seven solo tackles.<\/p>\n
