  "account": "PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — UCLA displayed an impressive display of teamwork on Saturday as they defeated Michigan State 28-10 at the Rose Bowl. The Bruins' rushing attack, led by running backs Wayne Knight, Anthony Woods, and Jaivian Thomas, played a pivotal role in securing the victory. Knight, Woods, and Thomas each scored a touchdown, showcasing their collective prowess on the field. UCLA's rushing offense, which has been a standout feature this season, yielded a total of 245 yards, the fifth time this season they've managed to outpace the 200-yard mark. Coach Bob Chesney praised the team's unity and physicality, highlighting the talent, toughness, and hard work of the Bruins' rushing corps. Despite some miscues, including fumbles by Woods and Thomas in the first half, the Bruins' rushing attack remained dominant, contributing to their 28-10 win over the Spartans. This victory marks the third time this season that all three running backs have each contributed a touchdown in a single game.",
