Ugly Loss for the Cougars at UCLA

LOS ANGELES, CA - Washington State opened up Pac-10 play at UCLA, a team with similar struggles to WSU so far this season. Early on, both teams failed to put the ball in the endzone, the score would be 3-3 at the half.
The highlight of the [very lackluster] first half was a 58 yard Jeff Tuel bomb to Isiah Barton, two plays later, the Cougars would turn the ball over. Turnovers...effectively killed Washington State's chances at winning this game. A swarming UCLA defense combined with a rattled Jeff Tuel led to 4 interceptions. Marshall Lobbestael came in and managed to go 5/7 and a huge play late in the 4th.
WSU trailed 13-3 with 1:29 to go, when Lobbestael found Isiah Barton wide open, streaking down the sideline. Barton took it all the way, shaking off one defender, for a 74 yard TD.
It was, unfortunately, too little too late as UCLA claimed victory 13-10.
*KEEP IN MIND* I had decided to start this dynasty(Wednesday is when I began playing) with half named rosters, some teams were not complete and so that is why(see below) there are players with no names.
