UCLA had second-and-2 at its own 25. Garbers hit a wide-open Keegan Jones near the right sideline at the UCLA 40 and Jones ran untouched into the end zone for a 67-yard touchdown catch.

It's now 28-19 Bruins.

Monangai had a 30-yard run on the drive to get the ball to the UCLA 13.

HALFTIME: UCLA 21, Rutgers 10

Not a good showing by Rutgers' defense.

UCLA, which has one of the worst defenses in the country, has 300 total yards of offense. QB Ethan Garbers is 21-of-25 for 224 yards and two touchdowns.

Rutgers' offense has been decent, but the defense just has hasn't done its job.

2Q, 0:22: UCLA expands its lead to 21-10

After Rutgers' field goal sliced UCLA's deficit to four, the Bruins needed 46 seconds to go on a seven-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that ended with Garbers hitting T.J. Harden for a 22-yard pass.

Rutgers' tackling has not been good today.

Garbers had back-to-back passes of 20 and 18 yards, respectively, on that drive to move into Rutgers territory.

2Q, 1:08: Jai Patel with a 49-yard field goal to cut Rutgers' deficit

Not a touchdown, but the Scarlet Knights came away with some points on that drive, which stalled out at the UCLA 31.

It's now 14-10 UCLA.

2Q, 2:43: UCLA retakes the lead

On second-and-12 from the Rutgers 49, Ethan Garbers kept it, managed to elude safety Desmond Igbinosun and ran 49 yards down the left sideline for a touchdown.

It's 14-7 Bruins.

1Q, 4:43: Rutgers football answers back with a touchdown

The Scarlet Knights have tied the game.

Rutgers went 75-yards in eight plays, capped off by QB Athan Kaliakmanis keeping it and punching it in from a yard out to tie the game at 75.

The highlight of the drive was a 42-yard pass from Kaliakmanis to Ian Strong, who made a nice one-handed catch down the right sideline.

Game's tied up at 7-7.

1Q,: 9:03: UCLA scores on opening drive

Well, that was fast.

UCLA went on a 75-yard scoring drive to open the game, capped off by a five-yard pass from Ethan Garbers to Logan Loya. Balanced drive for the Bruins, with six pass attempts and five rushes.

Rutgers' defense is banged up, though cornerback Robert Longerbeam, linebacker Tyreem Powell and safety Flip Dixon all started.

Regardless, not a great start for the Scarlet Knights' defense.

Rutgers vs UCLA prediction, picks, odds

Rutgers is a five-point favorite, according to Action Network as of Oct. 18.

O/U: Over 41 (-112), Under 41 (-109)

Moneyline: Rutgers -194, UCLA +159

Prediction: This probably isn’t going to be as easy a game for Rutgers as people think. UCLA gave Minnesota a good fight, and the Golden Gophers beat Southern California the previous week. In the Big Ten, anything can happen. The Scarlet Knights need to get its running game going early and allow that to set up the pass. Rutgers’ defense is banged up, but still should be able to limit a pretty lackluster offense. Rutgers 24, UCLA 17
