WATCH: UCLA players look to turn the page at Michigan State
The UCLA offense clicked for an entire 60 minutes for the first time this past weekend, helping the Bruins secure their first victory after an 0-4 start.
After Wednesday’s practice, center Sam Yoon and wide receiver Titus Mokiao-Atimalala both were relieved to get in the win column but also shared interim head coach Tim Skipper’s sentiments about avoiding becoming “a one-hit wonder.”
The offensive line, in particular, is looking to put together another strong performance Saturday on the road at Michigan State after limiting the penalties and overcoming other early struggles in the upset win over then-No. 7 Penn State.
“We had a really rough start to the season,” Yoon told reporters. “Obviously, we’re not finished. We want to keep going, keep building on that.”
Mokiao-Atimalala added that the team “needed it” for the sake of morale.
“We just need to continue that throughout this week, so that we can show out on Saturday as well,” Mokiao-Atimalala said.
“It brings up everybody. Obviously, we’re not getting too excited, you know, obviously we’re happy about the win, but we’re not too excited because, you know, we still got to go through it again and prove it each week. You know that was just one win, so you still got to try go get another one. So that’s the goal.”
