UCLA player No. 15 celebrates with both arms raised in front of the Rose Bowl crowd during the Bruins' 27-0 shutout of Nevada

No. 7 UCLA’s defense owned Halloween night at the Rose Bowl. The Bruins blanked Nevada 27-0 on Saturday, intercepting the Wolf Pack three times in the first quarter alone and improving to 8-0 for the first time since 2005.

Nevada quarterback Luke Duncan, a former Bruin returning to Pasadena, was picked off on three straight drives to open the game. Scooter Jackson intercepted the game’s first play from scrimmage, Jalen Woods got the second, and DJ Barksdale returned the third 26 yards for a touchdown. Duncan was benched after eight minutes. Mateen Bhaghani’s 26-yard field goal and Barksdale’s pick-six had UCLA up 10-0 before Nevada’s offense ever settled in.

Ty Dieffenbach did the rest. The UCLA quarterback threw for 178 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score, a 4-yard keeper late in the first half. His 12-yard touchdown pass to Wayne Knight in the third quarter made it 24-0, and Bhaghani’s 38-yard field goal in the fourth quarter closed the scoring.

Knight carried 11 times for 53 yards and has now scored in all eight games this season. Nevada managed just 176 total yards and never reached the scoreboard, and lead back Dominic Kelley was held to 6 rushing yards.

UCLA is 8-0 overall and 5-0 in the Big Ten. Nevada falls to 3-5 overall and 2-2 in the Mountain West.

South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers hurdles an Oklahoma defender during the Gamecocks' 42-25 win in Norman

LaNorris Sellers put on a show in Norman. The South Carolina quarterback threw for 301 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 96 yards and two more scores as the Gamecocks routed Oklahoma 42-25 on Saturday, their third straight win.

Sellers opened the scoring with a 15-yard touchdown run. Oklahoma’s only first-half life was a Kip Lewis 30-yard pick-six that tied it 7-7 early in the second quarter, and South Carolina answered immediately: Christian Clark’s short touchdown run, then Sellers hit DJ Black for an 84-yard touchdown on third-and-12 and Nyck Harbor for an 8-yard score with 16 seconds left in the half. Oklahoma’s offense managed just 71 total yards before halftime.

Sellers’ 11-yard rushing touchdown made it 35-10 in the third quarter, and after Oklahoma finally scored on offense, he answered with a 79-yard touchdown strike to Mazeo Bennett Jr. early in the fourth quarter. Bennett finished with four catches for 107 yards and a touchdown.

Oklahoma scored twice late against the reserves, John Mateer finding Ivan Carreon for touchdowns of 34 and 10 yards, the first two scoring catches of Carreon’s career, but the Sooners’ last drive died on downs at the South Carolina 1-yard line. South Carolina outgained Oklahoma 521 yards to 359 and won despite throwing three interceptions.

South Carolina improves to 5-3 overall and 3-3 in the SEC. Oklahoma falls to 4-4 overall and 2-3 in conference play.
