Halftime thoughts
Like I said, Arizona is doing whatever it can to keep UCLA in this game with the three interceptions, including two in the red zone.
A couple things stand out besides that - a) Arizona has 74 yards rushing from its wide receivers and b) a 3-yard pass to Taylor Embree is the only pass the Bruins have completed to its wideouts. Helps explain why the Bruins are 1 for 7 on third downs.
As far as brass tact stats, here we go:
First downs: Arizona 14, UCLA 5
Passing yards: Arizona 157 (Nick Foles 14-of-20, 157 yards, 1 TD, 3 Ints), UCLA 58 (Kevin Prince 6-of-12, 58 yards, 0 TD, 0 Int)
Rushing yards: Arizona 103 (Juron Criner 3 rushes, 39 yards; Nic Grigsby 9 rushes, 26 yards, 1 TD), UCLA 39 (Johnathan Franklin 5 rushes, 26 yards; Christian Ramirez 5 rushes, 18 yards).
Receiving leaders: Arizona (Delashaun Dean 4 catches, 27 yards; Willam Wright 3 catches, 31 yards; Criner 2 catches, 51 yards, 1 TD); UCLA (Ryan Moya 2 catches, 24 yards)
Penalties: Arizona 1-5, UCLA 5-35.
3rd-down efficency: Arizona 4-6, UCLA 1-7.



...umm...the metaphor is "brass tack". They were used in finishing the edges of upholstery...in a time before you were born.
