UCLA-Arizona second quarter: What the @#$%^ is going on?

Spread offenses are supposed to be tough for defenses to stop, but this is alarming. Trey Brown got faked  by Mike Thomas for 46 yards and then Chris Jennings beat Christian Taylor for 55 and a touchdown. Arizona has run 24 plays for 254 yards so far, a 10.6 yards-per-play average.

>> Arizona’s second-quarter possessions: touchdown-punt (thanks to Bruce Davis), touchdown-punt, end of the half. The Wildcats had 187 yards in the quarter on just 20 plays (9.4 per play).

>> UCLA’s second-quarter possessions: punt after seven plays, punt after three plays, punt after three plays, punt after three plays. The Bruins had a miserable 27 net yards in the quarter on 16 plays, a 1.7 average.

>> Halftime statistics: Arizona 41-385 (8.4 average); UCLA 30-103 (3.4 average); rushing: Grigsby (Ariz.) 11-92; Moline (UCLA) 4-37; passing: Tuitama (Ariz.) 13-23, 238 yards, 2 TDs; Cowan (UCLA) 7-16, 65 yards, 1 TD; receiving: Thomas (Ariz.) 3-71; D. Johnson (UCLA) 2-22.

>> The Cats are 2-0 this season when leading at halftime.

End of the half: Arizona 27, UCLA 14
