October 09, 2021 | Football
TUCSON, Ariz. โ Brittain Brown totaled a team-leading 146 rushing yards to propel the UCLA football team past Arizona, 34-16, in a Pac-12 contest at Arizona Stadium on Saturday evening.
ย
Brown and Zach Charbonnet each topped the 100-yard rushing plateau. Brown averaged 12.2 yards per carry, netting 146 yards on 12 carries. Charbonnet had 117 rushing yards (on 21 carries) for the visiting Bruins (4-2, 2-1 Pac-12), logging his fourth game of the season with at least 100 yards on the ground.
ย
Saturday's game marked UCLA's first contest since Oct. 25, 2014, in which two players tallied at least 100 rushing yards. In a 40-37 road win at Colorado in 2014, Paul Perkins rushed for 180 yards and quarterback Brett Hundley had 110 rushing yards.
ย
UCLA finished with a season-best 329 rushing yards in the win against Arizona (0-5, 0-2 Pac-12), limiting the host Wildcats to just 122 rushing yards on 41 attempts.
ย
Bruins' quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson had a pair of rushing touchdowns, finishing the Pac-12 contest with 82 passing yards and 28 rushing yards.
ย
Brown's 48-yard touchdown carry midway through the fourth quarter helped UCLA separate from Arizona, taking a 31-16 lead. The Bruins later added a field goal, a 43-yard kick by Nicholas Barr-Mira with fewer than two minutes to play.
ย
Neither team had led by more than 10 points through the game's first three quarters.
ย
The Bruins pushed ahead, 24-16, on a four-yard touchdown carry from Thompson-Robinson with 4:06 remaining in the third quarter. UCLA totaled 75 yards on a nine-play drive, including a 22-yard pass from Thompson-Robinson to Greg Dulcich that gave the Bruins possession on the Arizona 28-yard line.

ย
After Arizona scored three points on a field goal midway through the opening quarter, UCLA took a 7-3 lead at the 3:48 mark in the first frame. Thompson-Robinson connected with Dulcich on a three-yard pass, capping a 13-play, 75-yard drive.
