"It was like a culture shock. It was like whoa. It just hit me quick," Lateef said when asked how the week leading up to the UCLA game went for him.

The California native said playing in the Rose Bowl was "a blessing."

Johnson said he was proud of Lateef and how he performed on Saturday.

He said going into the bye week with this victory "is huge," and the next steps for the team are to go home and recover by resting their bodies.
