Toner didn't have enough distance on the kick from 50. That made it fairly certain he wasn't going to make it from 55 -- a long kick even for a pro -- so field goal attempt was off the table.

The field goal try was messed up. The ball was snapped out of rhythm and  unexpectedly because we we going to get a penalty (which we did). Toner can kick a 50 yard field goal if the play is on time and in rhythm. Why nobody called time out is the real question. You shouldn't get a delay of game penalty under those conditions.

I thought we were trying to draw UCLA offsides and were just awkward about it.

You could be correct. I hadn't considered that Shaw might try that, but it could be true. Could it be he actually decided "We try to draw them offside, and if that doesn't work, we go for it". Maybe we were supposed to call a time-out at the last moment and just didn't? Interesting thought.
