‘This win was definitely for him. We just love playing for that guy,’ Bruins QB Ethan Garbers says after a 35-32 victory for their first Big Ten triumph
UCLA head coach DeShaun Foster, right, shakes hands with Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano after the Bruins’ 35-32 victory on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2024, at SHI Stadium in Piscataway, New Jersey. PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Ethan Garbers ran to the northwest corner of SHI Stadium, where a small but jubilant contingent of UCLA fans were celebrating
Foster’s inaugural season as head coach of his alma mater has been a trying one. Chip Kelly departed for the offensive coordinator position at Ohio State months before the Bruins made the jump into the stacked Big Ten Conference. Foster, though a UCLA Athletics Hall of Famer with years of experience on the staff, had no prior head-coaching experience.
“Just seeing the smile on Coach Foster’s face,” Addison said. “He does a lot for us, so for me, it was just seeing how happy he was for the team and to also just be a part of this big win in the Big Ten.” UCLA wide receiver Grant Gray made a leaping catch on the bounce – then saw a seam and decided to sprint for the end zone. He protected the ball from a pursuing defender and scored what would have been the Bruins’ sixth touchdown in unlikely fashion.
