3) UCLA has scored at least 28 points in 17 of its last 18 games.
4) Ricky Manning, Jr.'s 83-yard interception return was the longest interception return by a Bruin since Abdul McCullough's 98-yarder against Arizona State in 1994.
5) Brad Melsby had two touchdown receptions, making him the only Bruin with more than one touchdown catch this season. He is the first Bruin since Danny Farmer and Brian Poli-Dixon against Miami last season to catch multiple touchdowns in a game.
