Arizona rallies to shock No. 9 UCLA in Rose Bowl

It’s a shame that UCLA is leaving the Pac-12 in a couple of years, because Arizona could get used to winning in Pasadena.

Jayden de Laura tallied three touchdowns, including a 17-yard pass to Tetairoa McMillan on 4th down with 6:34 left, and the Wildcat defense held just enough on the final drive to pull off a 34-28 upset of No. 9 UCLA on Saturday night at the Rose Bowl.

The UA (4-6, 2-4 Pac-12) earned its first win over a ranked team since 2018 and its first road win over a Top 10 opponent since 2014, snapping a 4-game skid and keeping its hopes of bowl eligibility alive.
