UCLA lost 34–28 to Arizona, who entered the game as 19+1⁄2-point underdogs. The Bruins surrendered 436 total yards and 6.7 yards per play to the Wildcats.[7] UCLA had a chance to comeback on the final play of the game on 4th-and-10 from the Arizona 29-yard line. A scrambling Thompson-Robinson threw under pressure to an open Jake Bobo, who dove but was unable to catch the ball in the end zone.[7][8]
UCLA played without running back-receiver Kazmeir Allen, who was out due to injury. Their streak of nine consecutive wins against unranked teams ended, while Arizona halted their eight-game road losing streak against ranked teams.[8]
