In front of a nationally televised audience, former Mt. SAC Quarterback, Kevin Craft, the 2007 State Offensive Player of the Year and J.C. Gridwire Offensive Player of the Year, led the unranked UCLA Bruins to a thrilling overtime upset victory over 18th ranked Tennessee, 27-24. The first half proved to be a tough introduction to NCAA Division 1 Football with Craft throwing 4 interceptions, but he came back in the second half with the same tenacity he showed while leading the Mounties last season to the State Championships Game. Craft led the Bruins down the field for 2 touchdown drives and a field goal with his laser precision passing, finishing the second half, 18 for 25 with 193 yards passing and some key scrambles. Highly respected UCLA Defensive Coordinator, Dwayne Walker, who began his coaching career at Mt. SAC (1988-92), kept the Bruins in the entire game with another very strong defensive showing, but it was Craft who led the team in the second half. Craft is the son of Mt. SAC Professor and legendary Offensive Coordinator, Tom Craft. The Bruins will next take on Mountain West Conference powerhouse BYU at Provo (UT) in two weeks.
