PASADENA — DeShaun Foster doesn’t take losing lightly, and through the first six games of the season the UCLA first-year head coach had to internalize quite a few of his early frustrations.

Over and over, Foster had to answer for a run game that wasn’t producing, an offensive line that wasn’t blocking, a fifth-year senior quarterback that wasn’t taking care of the ball, a team that wasn’t disciplined and following the very first of his three pillars.

“It was bothering me when we were losing,” Foster said after Friday’s 20-17 win over Iowa notched the Bruins’ first win at the Rose Bowl under his direction and third consecutive overall.
