San Antonio, TX - Brett Hundley began to jump up and down with his arms raised in victory before Paul Perkins even crossed midfield.

Perkins ran for 194 yards and two touchdowns, including a backbreaking 67-yard TD run late in the fourth quarter to seal No. 14 UCLA's 40-35 victory over No. 11 Kansas State in the Alamo Bowl.

Kansas State valiantly fought back from a 31-6 halftime deficit, cutting the margin to 34-28 after Jake Waters plunged in from a yard out with 4:54 remaining.

UCLA, though, had an answer.

Faced with a 2nd-and-13 at its own 33 following a false start penalty, Perkins burst through a huge hole off the left side of the line untouched and strolled the rest of the way for the score. The ensuing two-point conversion was unsuccesful.

Waters hit Tyler Lockett for a 29-yard touchdown to claw K-State within 40-35, but its onside kick was recovered by the Bruins.
