UCLA's lack of pass rush is catching up with the defensive backs.
Arizona backup quarterback Matt Scott torched the Bruins on Saturday, doing his best Nick Foles impersonation by throwing for a career-high 319 yards on 24-for-36 passing. He also added 71 yards rushing, many of them coming after dodged sack attempts and slipped away from UCLA lineman.
A week prior, Oregon's Darron Thomas also had a career-high 308 yards and three touchdowns against UCLA. He did all of that without taking the field in the fourth quarter.
Watch what preseason All-American safety Rahim Moore and cornerback Aaron Hester, who recorded his first-career interception Saturday, had to say following UCLA's 29-21 loss to the Wildcats:
