The ASU football team was a 17-point underdog against UCLA.
It was coming off a 55-3 loss to Utah, one of its worst losses ever and it had managed just 83 yards in that game, the second fewest it had ever gained in a game.
And the Sun Devils were missing several key contributors to injury.

ASU's defense stopped UCLA on all four of its fourth-down conversion attempts, three of which came deep in ASU territory.
UCLA also went just 3-for-11 on third down.
And this was a week after ASU allowed Utah to score 55 points.

He then had a 17-yard rush lock up the win with 3:07 remaining in the game.

UCLA helped ASU on the drive.
A 15-yard personal foul on UCLA's Gabriel Murphy after ASU failed to convert a 3rd & 14 at ASU's 32 yard line allowed the Sun Devils' drive to continue.

There is a lot of game left, with 9:47 remaining in the fourth quarter at the Rose Bowl, making this next possession a critical one for Arizona State.
Score: ASU 10, UCLA 7 (9:47 left in fourth quarter)
Sun Devils punt ball back to Bruins

This game is definitely not exciting from a scoreboard point of view and the second half isn't really helping.

Promising UCLA drive ends with fumble vs. ASU

But Trenton Bourguet threw an interception in the end zone on 2nd & 13 at the UCLA 27 to end Arizona State's drive.
There were no ASU receivers in the vicinity of the throw and UCLA's Kenny Churchwell III as able to make a diving catch for the interception.
