No. 9 UCLA routs No. 16 Arizona 56-30 to open Pac-12

Will it be Anu Solomon, Nick Wilson or the offense as a whole? Arizona – WR Cayleb Jones (Probable, undisclosed), LB Scooby Wright III (Questionable, knee), WR Samajie Grant (Questionable, undisclosed), LB Haden Gregory (Mid October, undisclosed), WR Trey Griffey (Late September, foot).

The first conference loss has led to different endings for Oregon in the past two seasons, and the Ducks will find out Saturday night in Colorado how they react to being blown away 62-20 by Utah.

The defense as a whole needs to step up.

“It was in the back of my head the whole game”, said UCLA junior linebacker Deon Hollins.

Gone are the days of the quarterback running for his life, as the Bruins ranked No. 123, 109 and 113 in sacks allowed from 2012-14. It struggled stopping the run against Nevada, and UTSA was also an early scare.

The Wildcats scored the first nine points of the second half to put a scare into the Bruins.

Arizona couldn’t get out of its own way, turning the ball over three times in the first half, each leading to touchdowns and a 28-point halftime deficit.

That might have had the exact result UCLA coach Jim Mora was hoping for when he railed against his run defense after the win. Paul Perkins carried 24 times for 85 yards and 3 touchdowns, building his case for Pac-12 player of the year.

Star quarterback Josh Rosen completed 19 of 28 passes for 284 yards and 2 touchdowns en route to a huge UCLA victory over the Wildcats 56-30. Rosen also connected with Jordan Payton on two deep passes.

Josh Rosen is expected to do big things for the Bruins. But UCLA, Utah and USC are all in the same place on the win column, and the Trojans get both in the Coliseum. Arizona leads the Pac-12 and is seventh nationally with 321 yards rushing per game and set a school record with 499 yards against Northern Arizona last week.

No, it is the 21 missed tackles against the Wildcats that still had Young angry, frustrated and disappointed. They could not wrap up Perkins, and UCLA was able to move the ball easily.

More games like this, and the Bruins will have a season that can’t be soundproofed. Arizona went 3-5 in the red zone. “You’re never out and we just have to continue to fight every day”. Historically disgusting, as in one of the worst days ever for major college football in the Grand Canyon State. He just kind of takes what the defense gives him, and is very patient on the inside zone.

12 – Arizona State (2-2, 0-1), Did USC want payback? He needs to prepare for a shootout against Arizona. That should be the priority, because hurrying quarterbacks will take a few pressure off of the secondary. Wright will cause even more issues for Rosen so that’s a match up that will be fun to watch.

The college football season is just a month old, but it has had what feels like a season’s worth of surprises already.

UCLA (9) rolled through their first two games of the season before running into the miracle kids at BYU.

The call “Let’s get ready to rumble!” applied to UCLA defensive linemen Tuesday.
