UCLA is for real.
If you still had any doubts about the legitimacy of Chip Kelly’s 18th-ranked Bruins, those should be put to rest after a convincing 42-32 over No. 11 Utah at the Rose Bowl on Saturday.
Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Zach Charbonnet make up one of the top quarterback-running back duos in the country, and those two were spectacular against a strong Utes defense. Thompson-Robinson, a fifth-year senior, ran Kelly’s offense beautifully. He completed 18 of his 23 throws for 299 yards and four touchdowns while Charbonnet gashed the Utes for 198 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries.
The UCLA defense gave up a lot of yards but made big plays when it mattered, including an interception of Utah quarterback Cam Rising late in the first quarter and then a clutch strip of Rising in the fourth. UCLA also stopped the Utes twice on fourth down in the fourth quarter. UCLA led nearly the whole game, but the Utes were within one possession until the fourth quarter. Utah cut UCLA’s lead to three on two occasions — 21-18 at the 5:01 mark of the third and 28-25 at the 11:39 mark of the fourth.
Both times, UCLA responded in a big way. First, Thompson-Robinson found Jake Bobo for a 10-yard touchdown. And then in the fourth quarter, Thompson-Robinson hit Logan Loya in stride for a 70-yard touchdown to extend the lead back to 10, 35-25.
