  • UCLA now leads the series against Arizona 18-9-2 and has won the past four meetings.
  • Chris Horton's punt block in the first quarter marked the second blocked punt of the year for UCLA. The first came at the hands of Benjamin Lorier against Illinois.
  • The ensuing safety was the first for UCLA since Asi Faoa blocked a punt out of the endzone against Fresno State on Dec. 30, 2003.
  • Bruin fullback Michael Pitre scored his first career touchdown on a 28-yard pass from Drew Olsen in the first quarter to put UCLA on top 9-0.
  • Chris Kluwe's 61 yard punt in the first quarter was the second longest of his career. His career long of 66 yards came in 2003.
  • With his three touchdown catches, Marcedes Lewis set a new career high for touchdowns in a game and now has four this season. (That last Bruin receiver with three touchdown catches in a game was Craig Bragg against Oregon in 2002.)
  • Lewis' six total catches brings his season total to 15, a team high. The single game catch total is also a career high for the junior tight end. His previous high of six was set in 2003 against Colorado.
