The Cougars' second TD came with only 37 seconds remaining, before an onside-kick attempt went out of bounds.
So Detmer's performance as BYU's offensive coordinator ruined the first home game for coach Kalani Sitake, a defensive expert who has brought more toughness to this team. The defense wore down, understandably. BYU linebacker Butch Pau'u and his group could do only so much against UCLA without sufficient help from the offense coordinated by Detmer, whose Heisman Trophy is absorbing some hits lately.
Detmer appeared on the stadium's east sideline for the first time in a BYU game since he quarterbacked the Cougars to a rout of Utah as a senior in 1991.
