UCLA 37, UNLV 3 In Three Things

1. UCLA was sloppy with too many penalty and turnovers, but there weren’t any problems on the way to a 37-0 lead. Josh Rosen started out the scoring with a 29-yard pass to Jordan Payton, and Paul Perkins ran for scores from seven and 56 yards out.

2. The Bruin defense got a pick six from Kenny Young in the second to put the game all but away with the way the D was playing. Ka’imi Fairbairn hit three field goals.

3. UNLV finally got on the board in the final few minutes with a 32-yard Nicolai Fornand field goal.
