Wins in UCLA finale Garbers was 26-for-40 passing for 289 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 20-13 win over Fresno State. He also had seven rushes for two yards.

Impact Garbers notched a win in his final collegiate game with the Bruins. The graduate senior threw his lone passing touchdown of the game when he hit wideout J. Michael Sturdivant for a two-yard score with just under two minutes remaining, which also put UCLA ahead 20-10 to secure this win. Garbers turned things around down the stretch of the regular season, as he had nine interceptions and only four touchdowns in his first five games before logging 12 touchdowns and only two picks in his final six games. UCLA finishes the season at 5-7, so the team will not have an opportunity to compete in a bowl game this coming postseason.

Throws one TD in loss Garbers completed 20 of 29 passes for 265 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 19-13 loss versus USC. He also had eight rushes for seven yards.

Impact Garbers couldn't keep the Bruins alive for a bowl berth, as he failed to log multiple touchdowns for the first time since Week 7. The graduate senior was still very efficient with a 69.0 completion percentage and 9.1 yards per attempt, but he came up short with four-straight incompletions for a turnover on downs to end the Bruins final offensive series of the game. Garbers will likely start the final game of his collegiate career during this coming Saturday's game against Fresno State.

Throws two TDs in Week 12 loss Garbers completed 27 of 44 passes for 267 yards and two touchdowns during Friday's 31-19 loss to Washington. He also had 14 rushes for two yards.

Impact Garbers could not lead the Bruins to their fourth-straight win, as he was under constant pressure versus Washington. The graduate senior was sacked 6 times including a strip sacked in the first quarter. UCLA's rushing game, which looked rejuvenated over the past three games, averaged just 1.6 yards per carry. Garbers has still been red-hot on third downs and is carrying the team over the last four games, completing 68.8 percent of passes for 1,073 yards and 10 touchdowns to two picks. He'll look to put his team back in the win column when UCLA hosts cross-town rival USC on Saturday, Nov. 23.

Up and down outing vs Iowa Garbers completed 21 of 34 passes for 204 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions during Friday's 20-17 win over Iowa. He also had four rushes for 23 yards.

Impact Garbers had one of the sloppier starts of the season, committing three turnovers in the first half with two interceptions and a lost fumble. The graduate senior bounced back with two passing touchdowns in the second quarter to help lift UCLA to a win. Garbers' inefficient outing now leaves him with 13 total touchdowns to 15 turnovers this season. However, he committed just one turnover during the previous two games, and he's helped lead the Bruins to four-straight wins. Garbers will look to have a cleaner outing during this coming Friday's road game at Washington.

Throws two touchdowns at Nebraska Garbers was 17-for-25 passing for 219 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 27-20 win over Nebraska. He also had six rushes for 56 yards.

Impact Garbers surprised with his second standout performance in as many games. He first hit running back Jalen Berger for a 10-yard passing touchdown in the second quarter before connecting deep with true freshman wideout Kwazi Gilman for a 48-yard score in the third quarter. The graduate senior totaled four touchdowns to nine picks over his first five starts of the season, but he helped revive the Bruins offense with seven total touchdowns and just one turnover in the last two games. Garbers will face likely his toughest test of the season during this Friday's upcoming game against an elite Iowa defense.

Foot taped at practice Garbers (foot) was seen with a protective wrap on his right foot during practice Tuesday, Ben Bolch of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Garbers, who tore up the Scarlett Knights for 383 yards and five total touchdowns last weekend, appears to be moving fine despite the tape on his right foot. The 6-foot-3 senior struggled to get going to start the season, but he has thrown for 676 yards (57-of-74), five touchdowns and three interceptions across UCLA's last two games, adding on 48 yards and one score with his legs. Garbers will look to continue his effectiveness against opposing pass defenses after the Bruins bye week in a showdown with Nebraska during Week 10.

Scores five TDs in big win Garbers completed 32 of 38 passes for 383 yards and four touchdowns during Saturday's 35-32 win over Rutgers. He also had nine rushes for 48 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Garbers had the performance of his career, including highs in passing yards and touchdowns.The Bruins offense had their way against a reeling Rutgers squad that was missing multiple key contributors from its defense. The graduate senior threw touchdowns to four different pass-catchers and scored on his own with a career-long 49-yard scramble in the second quarter. Meanwhile, his longest passing touchdown came on a short swing pass to speedy running back Keegan Jones, who broke away for a 67-yard score. Garbers threw four touchdowns to nine interceptions over his first five starts of the season, so it's probably safe to assume Saturday's performance was more of an outlier than the starter of a trend.

Throws three picks in return Garbers completed 25 of 36 passes for 293 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions during Saturday's 21-17 loss to Minnesota. He also had eight rushes for zero yards.

Impact Garbers continue dto struggle in his return to action after missing last week's loss to Penn State with a lower-leg injury. The graduate senior quarterback has now thrown at least two interceptions in three of five starts this season, and Saturday's game marked his first game with a completion percentage over 62 percent this season. Garbers' struggles are intertwined with the Bruins' offensive deficiencies overall this season, so he'll more than likely remain the starting quarterback for next week's cross-country road trip at Rutgers.

Impact Garbers was previously listed as questionable heading into Saturday's game against Minnesota after missing last week's matchup against Penn State with a lower leg injury, but it appears as if Garbers may be good to go against the Golden Gophers. The senior quarterback was seen dressed taking snaps from last week's starting center in pregame warmups, indicating that he will likely get the start against Minnesota. Garbers threw for 808 yards and three touchdowns to six interceptions through the team's first four games and will be hoping to improve those numbers agaisnt the Gophers.
