Overview

• Devon Dampier went 21-of-25 for 206 yards with two touchdown passes, added 87 rushing yards and a score, and directed an offense that totaled 492 yards.
• Utah converted 14 of 16 third downs and showcased two-way wrinkles, with cornerback Smith Snowden scoring on an 8-yard run and linebacker Lander Barton catching a 14-yard TD.
• Nico Iamaleava’s UCLA debut was uneven at 11-of-22 for 136 yards with one touchdown and one interception, and he was sacked four times while leading the Bruins with 47 rushing yards.
• UCLA’s defense struggled to tackle and generate pressure against a veteran Utah line, a contrast underscored by the Utes’ sustained drives and clean pockets for Dampier.
• The announced crowd was 35,032 at the Rose Bowl; next up, Utah hosts Cal Poly on Sept. 6 while UCLA visits UNLV the same day.
