Utah tops UCLA and runs on four consecutive wins

PASADENA – Zack Moss collected 211 yards and scored three touchdowns, helping the 23rd playmaker, Utah, to beat UCLA 41-10 on Friday night.

British Columbia Covey had 132 yards and a touchdown pass for the Utes (6-2, 4-2 Pac-12), who won their fourth straight game. Armand Shyne ran for a touchdown and Matt Gay scored two goals.

Joshua Kelley ran for 90 yards and a touchdown, but the Bruins (2-6, 2-3) failed to win their third consecutive victory. Wilton Speight had 20 of 40 passes for 164 yards.

Utah scored 28 consecutive points after falling 7-3 in the first quarter. Covey sent a 7-yard touchdown pass to tight back Cole Fotheringham with a setback to put the score at 10-7 midway through the second quarter, and Moss made a 1-yard touchdown in the second and third quarters.

Shyne's touchdown scored 31-7 after Julian Blackmon had a Speight pass, which started for the first time since his early-season back injury against Cincinnati.

Kelley had a 25-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter in the first quarter to give UCLA a quick lead, but the Bruins' defense could not control the quick attack on Moss and Utah.
