QB Hundley passes, runs UCLA past USC

- Lake City — At Salt

LOS ANGELES — Brett Hundley passed for 208 yards and rushed for two touchdowns, leading No. 22 UCLA past No. 23 USC 35-14 Saturday night and winning the crosstown showdown for the second straight season.

Linebacker Myles Jack and defensive end Eddie Vanderdoes also rushed for touchdowns as the Bruins (9-3, 6-3 Pac-12) earned their first win at the Coliseum since 1997, retaining the Victory Bell by grinding out just their third victory over USC (9-4, 6-3) in 15 years.

Javorius Allen rushed for 123 yards and a score for the Trojans, who had won five in a row in their revitalize­d season under interim coach Ed Orgeron.

Cody Kessler passed for 174 yards and hit Xavier Grimble with a touchdown pass for USC. But its defense couldn’t handle Hundley, who rushed for 80 yards.

Hundley and UCLA coach Jim Mora have never lost to the Trojans, and Jack had his latest big game in his first taste of the rivalry. After the freshman scored his seventh touchdown in four games, he also recovered Allen’s fumble deep in UCLA territory early in the fourth quarter.

Anthony Barr then swatted the ball out of Kessler’s hand from behind with 6 minutes left, and Cassius Marsh fell on the fumble near midfield. After Hundley rushed 23 yards up the middle on another nimble draw, Paul Perkins scored the clinching touchdown from 8 yards out with 3:50 to play.

The game didn’t help the unlikely cause of Orgeron, who emerged as a legitimate candidate for the fulltime USC job by revitalizi­ng a stagnant USC program since replacing Lane Kiffin in late September. Utah 24, Colorado 17:

Kelvin York rushed for 132 yards and two touchdowns and Trevor Reilly had a late intercepti­on to help Utah slide by Colorado.

In a matchup of the two teams at the bottom of the Pac-12 South, the Utes (5-7, 2-7) raced to a 21-0 firsthalf lead before the Buffaloes (4-8, 1-8) roared back.

On a fourth-and-10 play, Sefo Luifau completed a 14-yard touchdown pass to Nelson Spruce that made it 24-17 with 2:30 remaining. Stanford Oregon Washington Oregon St. Wash. St. California ASU UCLA USC Arizona Utah Colorado Pac-12 standings
