The trope of improving each game out can get tiresome while mired in a four-game losing streak, but the UCLA football team did just that by leaps and bounds Saturday in a 27-11 loss at seventh-ranked Penn State.

The redshirt sophomore quarterback was poised in his first-ever collegiate start under less than ideal circumstances in a raucous road environment.

Martin met the moment, finishing with the fourth-best overall grade on the team and second-best on the offense.
