Steele runs for three short yardage touchdowns to celebrate his 21st birthday.
UCLA running back Carson Steele scores a touchdown during an NCAA college football game against Stanford, Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023, in Stanford, Calif. STANFORD — Looking to steady an offense that has been up-and-down this season, UCLA made a rather surprise change at quarterback for Saturday’s game at Stanford, with Ethan Garbers taking back the starting reins. The result: A complete performance on both ends of the ball in a 42-7 rout, and a breakout game for running back Carson Steele.
Steele’s three touchdowns seemed identical, with rushes of two, eight and three yards, finding creases through the Cardinal goal-line defense. Moore, a five-star recruit, showed flashes of potential but also struggled with turnovers. His three picks proved costly last week against Oregon State, and Kelly turned to the veteran Garbers against a defense for Stanford that has been among the worst in the conference.
Garbers’ efficient night included a 15-play, 97-yard drive that was capped off by a Steele touchdown. He also threw touchdown passes to J. Michael Sturdivant and Moliki Matavao to open up a 35-0 lead for UCLA in the third quarter.
