AUSTIN, Texas - Two weeks ago, the UCLA Bruins were reeling and seemed to have far more deficiencies than they had hands to cover them up.
They seemed to be void of playmakers on both sides of the football. The new pistol offense seemed a silly gimmick. Just maybe the playbook coach Rick Neuheisel decided to use just wasn't going work.
But two weeks removed from the humiliating 35-0 drubbing by Stanford in the Pac-10 opener, the Bruins outlook appears quite a bit Rosier (excuse the pun). That's what consecutive wins over Top 25 opponents, including Saturday's stunning 34-12 upset of No.7 Texas, will do for a team that seemed on fast track to obscurity.
Some 13 years since crafting the 66-3 beat down also known as "Rout 66" in these parts, the Bruins returned for the first time to the scene of one their best victories and Texas' worst defeat and again turned Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium into their playing field.
Chants of "UC L-A! UC L-A!" were all that could be heard as most of the 101,437 had cleared out and just pockets of faithful Bruins fans became as dominant as their team had been on the field all afternoon.
