UCLA extends its turnaround, beating Maryland 20-17 with 3 late scoring drives led by Nico Iamaleava

PASADENA, Calif. -- , Mateen Bhaghani kicked a 23-yard field goal with two seconds to play, and UCLA beat Maryland 20-17 Saturday night to extend its improbable season turnaround with a third consecutive victory. Nico Iamaleava passed for 221 yards and led three scoring drives in the final six minutes despite going down with an apparent knee injury during that wild stretch for the Bruins (3-4, 3-1 Big Ten), who managed to stay on the upswing in their roller coaster of a season. “I think it's all about belief, (and) the guys believe,” UCLA interim head coach Tim Skipper said. “There's nothing that happened throughout the game that's going to take our confidence away, and you don't really know that until you get in a tight game like that.
