It was the Bruins longest against any opponent in their first 100 years of football. Joshua Kelley ran for 176 yards on 18 carries for the Bruins. Their defense limited Stanford to a season-low 198 yards and totalled seven sacks, almost equalling their previous season total of nine. ^[7]

The Bruins won 31–14 over Colorado for coach Chip Kelly's first three-game winning steak with the team. It was their fourth win of the season, exceeding their total from a year earlier. Thompson-Robinson returned from a knee injury the previous game to pass for 226 yards and two touchdowns, and added 38 yards rushing. Kelley rushed for 126 yards and two touchdowns. ^[9] UCLA had 426 yards in total offense; ^[9] they ran for over 200 yards for five consecutive games for the first time since 1978. ^[10]

At Utah

	1	2	3	4	Total
Bruins	3	0	0	0	3
No. 7 Utes	7	21	7	14	49

The Bruins committed a season-high five turnovers in a 49–3 loss to No. 7 Utah. They fell behind 28–3 in the first half, when Thompson-Robinson committed two of his four turnovers. Three times in the half they were inside the Utes' 30-yard line, but managed just three points. They went scoreless in the final 51:55 of the game. Utes running back Zack Moss had 181 of his 200 all-purpose yards by halftime. For the contest, UCLA scored just once in four trips to the red zone, turning it over the other three times. They established a season low for points, and were held without a touchdown for the first time since a 50–0 loss to USC in 2011. ^[11]

The Utes outgained the Bruins 536–269 in total yards. UCLA gained just 50 yards rushing against a defense that entered No. 1 in the nation against the run. Kelley had 78 yards rushing on 4.1 yards per carry. ^[11]

At USC

	1	2	3	4	Total
Bruins	7	7	14	7	35
No. 23 Trojans	10	14	14	14	52

UCLA surrendered 643 total yards to No. 23 USC as the Bruins lost 52–35. ^[12] Trojans quarterback Kedon Slovis set a USC school record with 515 passing yards, ^[12] which was also the most in the rivalry's history. ^[13] The Trojans established a school record with four receivers each catching for over 100 yards. ^[12] The game began well for UCLA, who scored on their opening drive, like they had in their four previous wins on the season. ^[14] They were up 7–3 late in the first quarter and driving on the USC 27 when Thompson-Robinson was intercepted. ^[15] The Bruins were behind 24–14 at halftime. ^[13] They drew to within 45–35 with 12:16 remaining in the game after scoring touchdowns on three straight possessions in the second half. ^[12]

Kelley was held to 45 yards rushing after gaining a rivalry-record 289 a year before against the Trojans. ^{[14] [15]} With the defense focused on the Bruins running back, ^[15] Thompson-Robinson compiled 431 yards in total offense along with four touchdowns. He was 26-of-44 passing for 367 yards and three touchdowns with one interception, and ran for 64 yards and another touchdown. ^[15] The loss pushed UCLA out of contention for a bowl game, and assured them of four straight losing seasons for the first time since 1924. ^[14]
