Live updates: UCLA leads Arizona, 42-14, at halftime

Jim Mora is an old-school coach who doesn't get caught up in the blah, blah, blah of every-week, day, minute college football hype.

So you can talk about the UCLA revenge factor after the Bruins soundly defeated Arizona last season only to watch the Wildcats play in the Pac-12 Conference title game. And you can talk about the heat in Tucson today. And rabid crowd.

You could even give his team the ready-made excuse that it will be playing against a high-octane offense with three starters missing on defense because of injuries.

Just a lot of blah, blah, blah.
