At 1-0-1 & ranked 12th nationally, the UCLA Bruins with coach Terry Donahue hosted the 1-0 San Diego State Aztecs of coach Doug Scovil. UCLA's RB Eric Ball tied a UCLA school-record as he scored 4 touchdowns & the UCLA defense held San Diego State to just 14 yards rushing as the Bruins rolled to a 34-16 victory of the Aztecs. The Bruins played without starting RB Gaston Green who had been hurt during practice but Ball filled in nicely. Midway through the 1st quarter, Ball finished a 15-play, 80-yard drive with a 4-yard touchdown run as the Bruins took a 7-0 lead. Ball’s second touchdown came on a 6-yard run with 2:02 left in the 1st quarter & put UCLA up 14-0. Two more touchdowns from Ball finished long scoring drives in the 2nd quarter. His 1-yard run finished a 12-play, 61-yard drive with 4:50 left in the 2nd quarter & his 2-yard run capped a 7-play, 53-yard drive with 1:15 left in the half. San Diego State got on the board when PK Chris O’Brien hit a 47-yard field goal with 0:03 left in the half. UCLA’s All-American PK John Lee hit a 47-yard field goal midway through the 3rd quarter & the Bruins took a 31-3 lead to the final period. Lee’s 28-yard field with 13:05 left in the game finished the scoring for UCLA. The Aztecs got a 9-yard touchdown pass from QB Todd Santos to All-WAC WR Webster Slaughter early in the 4th quarter & a 16-yard touchdown pass from back-up QB Jim Plum to RB Kevin Yates with 0:56 left in the game. UCLA's QB David Norrie threw for 148 yards & WR Mike Sherrard had 4 catches for 44 yards to make him the UCLA leader in career receptions with 110. Santos threw for 164 yards with a touchdown & Slaughter had 13 catches for 116 yards with his touchdown. UCLA finished the season 9-2-1; Pac-10 Champions & ranked 7th nationally while the Aztecs finished 5-6-1 in Scovil’s final season. San Diego State would play for The Belt again in 1993.
