Dante Moore shined and the UCLA running game dominated in the Bruins' final nonconference tuneup before opening Pac-12 play against Utah.
Dante Moore sees little playing time as UCLA goes on a historic scoring binge in the first quarter of a 59-7 win over North Carolina Central.In other words, you can’t bloom at the Rose Bowl without going through proper bud break. Kelly wanted Moore to get as much seasoning as possible heading into a Pac-12 showdown next weekend against No. 12 Utah, the two-time defending conference champion.
He’ll be fresh for the Utes at Rice-Eccles Stadium, but he’ll also have far fewer repetitions than he would have had Kelly anointed him the starter before the season. The Bruins were supposed to play Michigan before the Wolverines backed out of a planned two-game series, forcing UCLA to scramble to find replacement opponents on short notice.
“It’s awesome to see those guys’ faces,” Kelly said, “that they worked so hard during the week that … it pays off for them, they get to play on Saturday.”UCLA running back Anthony Adkins carries the ball in the third quarter against North Carolina Central. After Adkins referenced his having slimmed down upon arriving in Westwood, he received some spontaneous praise from Moore.
