"Adversity builds character." -- Message written on a board in UCLA's locker room after the school's worst loss in a game of football since 1929. No. 18 BYU gave UCLA a 59-0 pants-down spanking on Saturday.
It was the Bruins' worst loss since a 76-0 defeat at the hands of hated rival USC in 1929, back when the forward pass was a new, revolutionary strategy in the game and players played both ways.
It's a shameful result for a Bruins team that upset then 18th-ranked Tennessee at the Rose Bowl just two weeks ago.
To make the Bruins feel better -- and a little less shame than they already must be feeling -- here are the top 10 other pants-down spankings administered in the college football world this weekend ...
1. Tennessee-Martin 87, Concordia College (Ala.) 21
2. Troy 65, Alcorn State 0
3. Fayetteville State 63, Lincoln (Pa.) 0
4. IUP 63, Millersville 3
5. Augustana 59, Minnesota-Crookston 0
6. Jacksonville 52, Campbell 0
7t. Utah 58, Utah State 10
7t. St. Norbert 55, Grinnell 7
9. Monmouth 47, Lawrence 2
10. Oklahoma State 57, Missouri State 13
So, there you have it UCLA, Minnesota-Crookston took just as bad a beating.
