No. 19 UCLA 45, Colorado 23: Brett Hundley passed for two touchdowns and ran for two more as the host Bruins overcame a sluggish start before handing the Buffaloes their 13th straight Pac-12 loss.
Hundley finished 19-of-24 for 272 yards with both touchdown passes to Devin Fuller as the Bruins (6-2, 3-2 Pac-12) snapped a two-game slide while keeping their South Division title hopes alive. Fuller finished with 99 receiving yards and scored three TDs while Hundley recorded 72 of UCLA's 139 rushing yards.
Freshman Sefo Liufau was 25-of-36 for 247 yards and a touchdown for Colorado (3-5, 0-5), which has allowed an average of 48.8 points in its five conference games. Buffaloes wide receiver Paul Richardson, who entered the game third nationally at 130.6 yards per game, was held to 70 and a touchdown.
Hundley's first touchdown pass to Fuller - a 76-yarder - came with 19 seconds left in the first quarter. Colorado answered when Liufau connected with Richardson for a 7-yard score 4:15 later before Hundley's 11-yard TD run with 7:49 left in the second gave UCLA the lead for good.
Rushing touchdowns by Hundley and Damien Thigpen in the third quarter opened up a 35-13 bulge for the Bruins. Tony Jones' 2-yard TD run trimmed the deficit to 35-20 with 12:20 left and after the teams traded field goals, Fuller's third TD - an 8-yard run off a lateral pass from Hundley - made it 45-23 with 3:36 remaining.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Colorado freshman RB Michael Adkins II, who leads the team with five rushing touchdowns and averages 5.7 yards per carry, did not play because of a concussion. ... UCLA RB Jordon James, who averaged 141.3 yards in three games before injuring his ankle against Utah on Oct. 3, saw his first action since and gained eight yards on six carries. ... The Buffaloes won their first coin toss of the season and elected to receive, but did not score.
