WASHINGTON (AP) Sure, Temple was playing its first bowl game in 30 years, but what about those Bruins from UCLA? They were playing in the school's first cold-weather, East Coast bowl on a field so icy it caused the coaches to change the game plan at halftime.

Wearing those soft blue and gold hues that don't look right in subfreezing weather, UCLA rallied from a two-touchdown, first-half deficit Tuesday to spoil the new bowl kids' day, beating Temple 30-21 in the EagleBank Bowl.

"I know they were saying the West Coast Cali boys were going to be soft and used to surfing and things like that," linebacker Reggie Carter said. "I'm not going to lie; it was cold. But football is football, the field is still 100 yards long and we still played. They ran the ball; we stuffed it. We got the victory, so hopefully they can never say we're soft. We were down 21-7, and you never seen us quit." (MORE)
