  "account": "UCLA's Week 1 victory over Cal showcased several standout performances from the team. Linebacker Sammy Omosigho made an immediate impact on his debut, recording 14 tackles and a strip-sack of Cal's quarterback. Running back Anthony Woods delivered a strong showing, accumulating 118 rushing yards and scoring two touchdowns, including a 53-yard game-icing run. Wayne Knight also contributed significantly, gaining 101 yards and three touchdowns, while serving as UCLA's kick returner. Quarterback Nico Iamaleava, despite not having a standout game, led the offense and set up a last-second field goal. Defensive end Sahir West was crucial in the fourth quarter, making a sack and forcing a holding penalty, showcasing his potential as a force to be reckoned with. Guard Carter Sweazie stood out in the offensive line, helping the Bruins restrict Cal to just two sacks and rushing for 277 yards, earning him a spot on the PFF Big Ten Team of the Week.",
