What happened
UCLA went to Maryland and left with a 54-3 win, which is less a football result than a rumor someone started. The turning point came early, when the Terrapins stopped resembling a team with a pulse and the Bruins simply kept scoring. That pushed the record to 4-0, a number this fanbase treats like contraband: "Talk to your kids about 4-0 UCLA. (No, seriously, they've never seen this before.)" One fan marveled at a "63 point blowout at home by an unranked team." Misery index: zero. Enjoy it, cautiously.
What fans said
“66-3 in 1997 Texas was ranked #11. UCLA was 0-2 after close losses to Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf. Then won 20 straight”
