 UCLA continued to dominate in the second half, despite the fact Beban had to be helped off the field numerous times after getting hit on his injured ribs (Beban had a bad bruise and a piece of detached cartilage).Twice he drove the Bruins into field goal range.However, USC head coach John McKay had noticed that UCLA kicker Andrusyshyn kicked with a low trajectory, so he put 6'8" Bill Hayhoe in the middle of the line on the Trojans field goal defense unit; Hayhoe blocked two field goals to keep the game tied.
