Wayne Knight scores 3 TDs as UCLA beats San Diego State 28-10

PASADENA, Calif. -- , Wayne Knight scored three touchdowns after a scoreless first half and UCLA defeated San Diego State 28-10 on Saturday to win its home opener under new coach Bob Chesney . Knight scored on runs of 8 yards in the third and 7 and 36 yards in the fourth, the James Madison transfer's second straight game with three TDs. He had that many in a season-opening win at California last week. “When the light shines on you," Knight said, "it’s your time to make that play.” Knight scored for the second time after Josh Hunter 's face-mask penalty at the Aztecs 7-yard line resulted in an automatic first down. Jalvian Thomas added a 1-yard TD in between Knight's two fourth-quarter scores for the Bruins (2-0). The Bruins didn't give up a touchdown until the game's final 2:28 when Jackson Ford caught a 19-yard pass from Jayden Denegal .
