UCLA's Green burns Southern Cal

UCLA's s Green burns Southern Cal PASADENA, Calif. - Repre sentatives of the Florida Citrus Bowl must have felt like they made the wrong choice after watching 18th-ranked UCLA destroy 10th-ranked Southern California 45-25 Saturday before a crowd of 98,370 at the Rose Bowl. it'll be the Trojans, not the Bruins, meeting Auburn at Orlando, Fla., on New Year's Day. That's because even though bowl bids weren't allowed to be officially extended until Saturday, it was made public last weekend that the Trojans were going to Florida to celebrate New Year's Day. UCLA, meanwhile, will face either Brigham Young or Air Force in the Freedom Bowl at Anaheim Stadium on Dec. 30. The Bruins have won New Year's Day bowl games following each of the last four seasons. Gaston Green rushed for a career-high 224 yards and a school record-tying four touchdowns as the Bruins took command early in rolling to their surprisingly easy victory. "This was one of the great wins in UCLA history," coach Terry Donahue of the Bruins said. "This was kind of a Rose Bowl game for us... "We have two goals at the start of the season. One is to win the conference championship and the other is to beat USC. Last year we got one and not the other and this year we got one and not the other." The Bruins won the Pacific-10 Conference title a year ago but lost to the Trojans. This year, fourth-ranked Arizona State won the league title despite losing 34-17 to Arizona Saturday. After failing to move the first time they had the ball, the Bruins put their crosstown rivals away by scoring on their next six possessto take a 38-0 lead over the Trojans after just 3:37 of the third quarter. Southern Cal made the final score somewhat respectable by scoring three touchdowns in the fourth quarter, but despite that flurry the Trojans managed only 244 yards in total offense to UCLA's 512 yards.
