PASADENA, Calif. -- Kennedy Polamalu is UCLAs offensive coordinator, but he still looks and thinks about the game from the vantage point of a fullback.Polamalu seemed pained when the Bruins attempted 70 passes against Utah and has been frustrated for months by a ground game that ranks among the nations worst, so he opened up competition at running back this week and hoped for a response. It wasnt perfect, but Polamalu got one.Bolu Olorunfunmi rushed for 65 yards and one touchdown, Jalen Starks ran for two touchdowns, and UCLA used its second-best rushing performance of the season to hold off Oregon State 38-24 on Saturday night.Randall Goforth returned an interception 40 yards for a touchdown and Mike Fafaul threw for 281 yards and one interception as UCLA (4-6, 2-5 Pac-12) snapped a four-game losing streak.Its good to get a win, UCLA coach Jim Mora said. They have been hard to come by this year.Artavis Pierce had 73 yards rushing and two touchdowns for Oregon State (2-6, 1-6 Pac 12). The Beavers are 1-15 in conference games under second-year coach Gary Andersen.UCLA rushed for 163 yards, its best outing since running for 125 yards against Arizona in October. Olorunfunmi, Soso Jamabo, Brandon Stephens and Nate Starks each had 4 yards or more per carry, a major improvement for a group that had been averaging 2.6 yardsThe only one who didnt was Starks, the 255-pound freshman that Polamalu called a big bull. Polamalu wouldnt single out Starks as his favorite and said seeing the bruising back in action brings a smile to my face.I thought as a group they stayed together, Polamalu said. They didnt complain and were helping each other on the sideline, so I thought that was pretty cool.It wasnt always pretty. Jamabo fumbled on UCLAs second play from scrimmage, and Pierce scored on a 1-yard touchdown run two plays later to give Oregon State the early 7-0 lead.Fafaul threw a 48-yard pass to Jordan Lasley that helped set up Olorunfunmis TD to make it 7-7. Starks ran for a touchdown and Lasley scored off a blocked punt to give UCLA a 21-7 lead. Pierce scored on another short touchdown run midway through the second quarter to pull Oregon State to 21-14.Oregon State was opportunistic, keeping the game in doubt until the final two minutes when Goforth picked off Marcus McMaryion and scored. McMaryion was 22 of 33 for 232 yards.I just wish he had put the ball away until he got into the end zone, UCLA defensive coordinator Tom Bradley said. Im a fan of that.Manase Hungalu recovered two fumbles, including one he returned 40 yards for a touchdown, pulling the Beavers to 24-21 in the third quarter. Hungalu also had an interception, returning it 37 yards out of the end zone to stall a Bruin drive early in the fourth quarter.We come out every week and we expect to win, nothing less, Hungalu said. I think we just need to realize that it takes every quarter and every single play. We cant take a play off or take a break on one of the plays.UCLA gained 30 yards off penalties on the ensuing possession. Safety Jalen Moore was ejected for targeting and linebacker Kyle Haley grabbed receiver Theo Howards face mask, setting up Starks second TD run that made it 31-21.THE TAKEAWAYOregon State: The Beavers are taking steps forward. The defense and special teams were mostly solid, but the offense was sluggish without running back Ryan Nall, who is out with a foot injury. Still, this rebuilding project might be ahead of schedule. Oregon State has played four conference games decided by one score this season.UCLA: The Bruins have a path to a bowl game, but its slim. UCLA must upset a white-hot Southern California team that just shut down Washington in Seattle, and knock off California in Berkeley to get to six wins. If UCLA remains utterly one-dimensional on offense, attempting 48 passes to 29 runs, those hopes will be extinguished next week.UP NEXTOregon State hosts Arizona on Saturday.UCLA hosts crosstown rival USC on Saturday.

Nevertheless, he was still happy with the results. Danks was solid in his season debut and Jeff Keppinger drove in the winning run on a single in the 11th inning and the Chicago White Sox beat the Miami Marlins 4-3 on Friday night. Danks allowed three runs and four hits in six innings in his first start since undergoing shoulder surgery in August to repair a capsule tear and remove debris in his rotator cuff and biceps. He struck out five, walked none and hit a batter in the opener of the interleague series. "It was a good first one," Danks said. "I did as much as I had hoped to do. Obviously, as the game went on, I wanted to go further, but I totally understand the move, totally agree with the move and Im glad we got the win." Danks went 3-4 with a 5.70 ERA in nine starts last season as the teams opening day starter. He last pitched May 19, 2012, against the Cubs. The left-hander made four minor-league rehab starts before debuting Friday. He threw 76 pitches, allowing a two-run home run to Derek Dietrich in the fourth. "The best part was his command and keeping everything in check and doing everything he needed to do," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "He was getting people to swing and miss. Its what you would expect of him coming back and being at full strength." Paul Konerko started the White Sox rally with a one-out single in the 11th. Pinch runner Tyler Greene moved to third when Dayan Viciedo singled off the glove of second baseman Dietrich. After Ryan Webb (1-2) intentionally walked Conor Gillaspie, Keppinger singled to left field. "It just feels like our offence is starting to do a little bit more and were still getting good pitching," Keppinger said. Nate Jones (1-4) pitched two-thirds of an inning for the win. Marlins starter Tom Koehler gave up three runs in six innings in his first career interleague start. He struck out three and walked one. Koehler remained in the game after a Keppinger line drive struck him on the back of his right shoulder in the third inning. Koehler said the ball struck him underneath his shoulder blade. "It actually hit me in a pretty decent spot," Koehler said. "As far as affecting the way I threw, it had no bearing on anything, which was nice. It will be a little sore tomorrow, but it shouldnt be anything to worry about." The Marlins tied it 3-3 in the seventh. Marcell Ozuna led off with a double, forcing Danks from the game. Ozuna advanced on a Justin Ruggiano single off Matt Lindstrom and scored on a Miiguel Olivo sacrifice fly.dddddddddddd After a Nick Green single loaded the bases, Lindstrom got a double play to end the inning. Konerko hit a go-ahead, two-out single off Koehler for a 3-2 White Sox lead in the sixth. Alex Rios scored after extending his career-high and AL-leading hitting streak to 18 games with a one-out single. Dietrich hit a two-run homer off Danks for a 2-0 Marlins lead in the fourth. Placido Polanco scored after leading off with a single for the Marlins first hit. "I felt great. I felt really good," Danks said. "I felt like I was able to make the ball move and do what I wanted to do for the most part. There were a few pitches I would like to have back. I felt like I made a good pitch to Polanco, and he got a knock and the homer. I should have thought more about that one." The White Sox scored two runs to tie it 2-2 in the fifth. Keppingers RBI groundout scored Viciedo, who reached on a force out and advanced on a Gillaspie double. Hector Gimenez hit a two-out single to tie it. The White Sox threatened in the 10th. Keppinger led off with a single before Chad Qualls hit Gimenez with a pitch. Both runners advanced on an Alejandro De Aza sacrifice bunt. After Qualls intentionally walked Alexei Ramirez, Rios hit into an inning-ending double play with a close call at first that brought out Ventura to talk to umpire Angel Hernandez. Replays showed Rios foot on the bag before the throw arrived. "You have to put it behind you," Ventura said. "Fortunately, you get somebody on, and Paulie gets on and Tank (Viciedo) got that hit (in the 11th). Stuff happens. You just have to roll with it." NOTES: The White Sox are hopeful LHP Chris Sale will make his scheduled start on Tuesday against the Cubs. He missed his start Wednesday against the Red Sox because of shoulder tendinitis. "In my mind, Im going for sure, but I dont know what (the team has)," Sale said. "Thats the target. Thats what were shooting for, but just like anything else, its out of my hands." Sale said he felt good going through his shoulder program and he plans to play long toss Saturday. ... White Sox 2B Gordon Beckham wont play in his rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte until at least Wednesday because he is experiencing soreness in his left hand, general manager Rick Hahn said. The hamate bone in Beckhams left hand was removed April 16, and he began a rehab assignment May 18. "Its nothing to be alarmed about," Hahn said. ... To make room for Danks, the White Sox optioned LHP Donnie Veal to Triple-A after Wednesdays game. ' ' '
