SALT LAKE CITY - The Bruins saw their three-game winning streak snapped on Saturday at Rice-Eccles Stadium, as No. 8 Utah defeated UCLA, 49-3.
Kyle Phillips caught seven passes for 86 yards, while Devin Asiasi set career highs in receptions (five) and yards (72). Joshua Kelley ran for 78 yards on 19 carries, while Dorian Thompson-Robinson went 20-for-36 for 219 yards passing.
On the defensive end, Lokeni Toailoa posted a career-best 10 tackles, including 2.5 for loss, which was also a personal best, with Stephan Blaylock adding eight tackles.
The Bruin offense looked sharp on the opening drive, which lasted 15 plays, converting on a trio of third downs before ultimately settling for a 43-yard field goal by JJ Molson to take a 3-0 lead seven minutes into the game.
Following a Utah touchdown and a Thompson-Robinson interception, Otito Ogbonnia forced a fumble, which was recovered by Darnay Holmes. However, a missed Molson field goal and a Thompson-Robinson fumble on the next two UCLA possessions led to 14 points for the Utes to take a 21-3 advantage, which became 28-3 after a last-minute, first-half touchdown by Utah.
UCLA (4-6, 4-3 Pac-12) drove into Utah (9-1, 6-1 Pac-12) territory three times in the second half, but was unable to score a touchdown in a game for the first time since 2011 at USC. The Utes scored a touchdown in the third and two more in the fourth.
The Bruins take on cross-town rival USC on Saturday, Nov. 23 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Game time will be announced within the next 48 hours.
