Boise State is no stranger to winning championships but this season didn’t go in their favor. Fans were hopeful as they entered the famous LA Bowl against UCLA winning the first six points, but that was before UCLA delivered an epic game-changing punch.
It’s a celebratory moment for UCLA as they secured the first LA Bowl touchdown. But it’s not a regular scene because what propelled the first TD is just mind-blowing. All the spotlight is on UCLA QB Collin Schlee whose performance cemented his status and reputation as an outstanding college football player.

Boise State led the 1st quarter 6-0 before this showdown by Schlee. With the latest performance from Schlee and Habermehl, UCLA now takes the upper edge as they lead the 2nd quarter 7-6 with an 83-yard drive. If Collin Schlee manages to retain this energy and skill throughout the game, Boise State may have to say goodbye to their probability of winning this year’s Mountain West title.
