USC lost this game by not converting on the PK, and by not defending a kickoff in the 86th minute. Hard to believe either of those two things didn't go their way. Our sport is cruel but also beautiful like that.
UCLA won this game by an amazing mental resolve to respond in big moments. They also got better as the game progressed. Also kudos to the staff for throwing Mace up top. Almost cost them as their Canadian left back fouled for the PK, but they needed to make that change.
MAP's kid dominated Pruitt.
Fun to watch Demelo, Hocking, Mace, Villacorta, Fleming, and Sanchez on offense.
Fans got their money's worth!
