The Bruins answered when Hundley connected with a wide-open Thomas Duarte for a 27-yard touchdown pass with 40 seconds left before the half, and the Bruins held California scoreless after intermission. The Golden Bears lost their fourth straight while going 4-for-17 on third-down conversions.
Ka'imi Fairbairn kicked two of his three field goals in the third quarter to extend UCLAกฏs lead to 30-10, and Hundley threw a 22-yard TD pass to Shaquelle Evans with 4:41 left to play to cap the scoring. Devin Fuller had six receptions on 98 yards and a score for the Bruins, who are primed to move into the top 10 of the national rankings for the first time since 2005.
