    PASADENA, California (Ticker) -- Thanks to its defense, NotreDame can breathe a sigh of relief.


    The Fighting Irish snapped a seven-game losing streak by forcingseven turnovers, scoring a defensive touchdown and setting upthe offense for another score in upsetting UCLA, 20-6, Saturdaynight.


    Linebacker Maurice Crum had four takeaways, including a fumblethat he returned for a TD and Brandon Walker kicked two fieldgoals for Notre Dame (1-5), which avoided tying a school recordfor losses.


    The last time the Irish lost eight straight was in 1960, whenthey won their opener, then didn't win again until the finalgame of the season. This victory was the first for Notre Damesince November 18, 2006 and helped the Irish improve to 4-0all-time vs. UCLA.


    It was the second disappointing loss for the Bruins (4-2) in2007. UCLA started the season 2-0 before being crushed, 44-6,at Utah.


    Notre Dame won this game in the third quarter.


    The Fighting Irish trailed by three before a field goal byWalker from 48 yards out bounced over the cross bar to knot thegame at 6-6 with 6:24 remaining. Later in the period thedefense gave the ball back to Clausen in prime scoring position.

    Safety David Bruton intercepted McLeod Bethel-Thompson at theUCLA 21 and returned it 17 yards to put the Irish inside theBruins 5-yard line. Three plays later Clausen scored on aquarterback sneak from the 1 to make the score 13-6 with 1:53remaining in the third. It was just the second lead in a gamefor Notre Dame this season.


    Crum then took over. On UCLA's next possesion, the seniorlinebacker blitzed UCLA backup quarterback McLeodBethel-Thompson, knocking the ball out of his hands. He escooped it up and scampered 33 yards to make it 20-6 with 1:03left in the quarter.


    Crum had two interceptions and two fumble recoveries.

    Notre Dame freshman quarterback Jimmy Clausen completed 17-of-27passes for 84 yards and ran for a critical touchdown.

    UCLA had taken a 3-0 lead in the first quarter when Bruinsstarting signal caller Ben Olson led the offense on a 13-play,42-yard drive which led to Kai Forbath's 29-yard field goal.

    However, the junior quarterback was knocked out of the game witha knee injury when he was sacked and fumbled inside his own 5later in the period. The turnover led to a game-tying 26-yardfield goal by Walker with 23 seconds left in the quarter.

    UCLA took the lead at halftime when Forbath booted a 49-yardkick with 32 seconds left in the half.


    Olson was 4-of-10 for 54 yards and Bethel-Thompson was 12-of-28for 139 yards and three interceptions.
