For almost 58 minutes, it looked like UCLA football was finally going to end an eight-year nightmarish losing streak.

The Bruins took a 13-9 lead late into the fourth quarter, but left too much time on the clock for Christian McCaffrey and the Stanford Cardinal.

With 2:05 left, Stanford went to the arms of senior quarterback Ryan Burns to go the distance. Outside of a four-yard rush by running back Christian McCaffrey, Burns did it himself. He had only 71 yards to his name entering the fourth quarter, but ended the night with 137 yards and the all-important go-ahead touchdown pass.

The Cardinal punctuated the wild come-from-behind victory with a sack on sophomore quarterback Josh Rosen, leading to a fumble returned for a touchdown and a final score of 22-13.
