Arizona downs UCLA

Willie Tuitama threw for 341 yards and three touchdowns and Arizona held off a UCLA rally Saturday to hand the injury-plagued Bruins their second Pac-10 loss in a row, 34-27 at Tucson, Ariz.

Tuitama had scoring passes of 55, 8 and 27 yards. The junior completed 21 of 36 passes and was not intercepted. Nicolas Grigsby rushed for 124 yards, including a 60-yarder for an Arizona touchdown.

With UCLA down 34-14, sophomore Osaar Rasshan, the fourth quarterback used by the Bruins this year, led a rally that fell a touchdown short.

Kai Forbath’s 51-yard field goal cut it to 34-27 with 5:04 to play and the Bruins got the ball again with 3 minutes to go. Rasshan threw three errant passes in four downs, though, and the comeback came up short.

(13) USC 24, Oregon State 3: At Los Angeles, John Booty passed for 157 yards and two touchdowns in his first game in four weeks, the USC defense was overpowering with nine sacks and the Trojans defeated the Beavers.
