UCLA triumphs over USC in rivalry game, returning Victory Bell to Westwood

date: 2023-11-19, from: The Daily Bruin (UCLA Student Newspaper)

This post was updated on Nov. 19 at 9:35 p.m. Ninety-three yards of turf stood between the Trojans and the Bruins’ end zone.  Buried deep in his own territory, coach Lincoln Riley called for a MarShawn Lloyd rush on USC’s first offensive play of the third quarter.  But instead of a four-yard run to set up second-and-6, the ball popped out of Lloyd’s hands, landing right in front of defensive back Alex Johnson.  Eleven yards of turf stood between the redshirt senior and the Trojans’ end zone.  Johnson collected the ball and waltzed past the goal line untouched, extending UCLA football’s (7-4, 4-4 Pac-12) lead over USC (7-5, 5-4) to 18 after the Trojans’ third turnover of the day.
