Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd UCLA was favored by twenty-two and a half, so they were supposed to win. Did they just win more?

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorLook, the defense picked off Nevada on its first three drives, and the third one went back for a touchdown.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorI'm telling you, that's a homecoming nobody planned.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHe left before Chesney got there. So Chesney's first look at him was three interceptions. That's some introduction.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe Bruins have sixteen interceptions this year. Last year at this point they had one, and they won three games.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSixteen. Rex, that's a lot of free passes for the defense.
