Paul Perkins added 98 rushing yards and a touchdown while Jordan Payton had a game-high 105 receiving yards for the Bruins and his fourth quarter catch gave him the UCLA career record for receptions. UCLA scored its lone touchdown of the first half on the opening possession of the game. Rosen hit receiver Thomas Duarte for 33 yards on the first play and 28 yards for a touchdown five snaps later. Ka'imi Fairbairn's field goal put the Bruins up 10-0. Utah's four first-half drives produced just two 39-yard field goals. The Utes added a 21-yard field goal in the third quarter to cut the Bruins' lead to 10-9. But UCLA's Perkins scored on a two-yard run with 5:17 left in the third quarter.
ย
The Utes registered a 30-28 win in 2014 in the Rose Bowl. The visitors jumped out to a 14-0 advantage following an interception return and a scoring pass and then fended off a Bruin rally down the stretch. Perkins put UCLA on the board with a short run, but Utah kicked a field goal just before the end of the half for a 17-7 edge at the break. UCLA scored first in the second half and cut the deficit to 17-14. The teams then traded scores with Devin Fuller hauling in a 92-yard scoring pass to bring UCLA within three, 24-21, early in the fourth. Eldridge Massington caught another scoring pass from Brett Hundley, after a Ute field goal, to lift UCLA into a 28-27 lead. However, Utah drove down the field 10 plays and 63 yards to convert a field goal with 34 seconds remaining for the winning margin.ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย
