The UCLA Bruins (0-3) visit the Washington State Cougars (3-0) Saturday for a 10:30 p.m. ET kickoff in Pullman.

On Washington State's final possession, Gordon was crushed, jarring the ball loose, UCLA recovered the fumble.

The Bruins were not expected to be very good but they have been next-level bad.

Gardner Minshew was on hand to watch Anthony Gordon break his Washington State record for touchdowns thrown in a game on Saturday - a feat which, in retrospect, turned out to be one of the more mundane aspects of the night. None of it mattered on a night Thompson-Robinson made the plays that mattered most.

After turning the ball over on downs still down by three at 63-60, the Bruins had the Cougars facing a first and 15 at their own 12.

There were many other UCLA highlights.

Gordon finished the first half with 306 passing yards and five touchdowns, with three of the five touchdown passes going to Winston. There were more missed tackles as Borghi spun and sprinted his way to a 56-yard run.

UCLA had 657 yards of total offense, to 720 yards for Washington State. Gordon parlayed it into a 10-yard touchdown pass to Travell Harris. The Bruins' losing margin per game is 17.7. UCLA cornerback Elijah Gates slipped on the play, leaving Winston open for an easy three-yard touchdown catch.

"It's a Pac-12 After Dark Saturday night win" UCLA coach Chip Kelly said of his team's insane comeback.

"We collapsed in every phase of the game", Leach said.

After it all, the Bruins found the flawless ending.
