I did a bit of on line research and found this in the SI Vault for October 15, 1962. You can deduce that this was the opening game, and you can deduce that something in the first thirty seconds may have been the first play after we recovered a fumble. Anyway, whether it’s wrong or right, it’s in my memory pretty vividly, and it made me wonder why the 49ers wasted Kermit on defense. Here’s the blurb:

“Three unforgettable goal-line stands, each repulsing first-ranked Ohio State at the one-yard line, earned UCLA a 9—7 victory and one of the biggest upsets in West Coast football history. The Bruin offense operated only in the first 30 seconds, when Halfback Kermit Alexander broke 45 yards to a touchdown, and in the last seven minutes, when sophomore Quarterback Larry Zeno came off the bench to lead UCLA’s only other venture into Buckeye territory. Zeno kicked the winning field goal from the 14 and the UCLA defense was magnificent beyond the telling of it. A fumble set up Alexander’s run. A second fumble, recovered by Tackles Dave Gibbs and Phil Oram, stopped OSU on the one-yard line. “We thought our team was pretty good until this afternoon,” said Woody Hayes. Then, slowly, he added, “A team of mine has never been stopped that many times before.”"
