For the first time since 2010, Arizona has beaten UCLA at the Rose Bowl. Arizona scored a signature win under coach Jedd Fisch with a 34-28 victory over Chip Kelly and UCLA.

The 12th-ranked Bruins (8-2, 5-2 Pac-12) had a shot at the end, driving down to the Arizona 29, but quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson threw three straight incomplete passes to give the Wildcats (4-6, 2-5 Pac-12) their first road win over a Top 10 team since they defeated No. 2 Oregon in 2014.

Thompson-Robinson was 26 of 40 for 245 yards and a touchdown, outdueled by the UA’s Jayden de Laura.

Here are three takeaways from the game.

A defining win for Arizona

Jedd Fisch scored a signature win, a potentially program-defining win. It’s hard to overstate just how much an upset win over a team ranked 12th in the College Football Playoff ranking can do for Arizona now and moving forward. The Wildcats get proof of concept in Fisch’s second season.

Last season featured just one win, and it was an excruciatingly long campaign. The Wildcats retooled the roster this offseason on the offensive side of the ball and, though they got off to a hot start, four straight losses in the meat of the schedule showed how far there was still to go.

Arizona’s defensive concerns were still present Saturday against the Bruins, to be clear. UCLA running back Zach Charbonnet ran for 181 yards and three touchdowns on 24 carries. Quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson threw for another 245 to lead a Bruin offense that outgained Arizona 465-436.

But Arizona also turned UCLA over on downs twice inside its own 30-yard-line (and three times overall) while blocking a field goal attempt from its own 27. Arizona fell down 28-24 early in the fourth quarter and responded with 10 unanswered points to close out the win.

Fisch will be able to sell this result in a major way on the recruiting trail, and it shows the current roster that all the talk of being close in recent weeks wasn’t just talk.

Jayden de Laura stays trendy

Arizona’s quarterback doesn’t have two poor showings in a row. Last week, in a 45-20 loss to Utah, Arizona played what was probably its worst game of the season. But the Wildcats have been a team that bounces back all year long.

That was no different against the Bruins. Arizona had a 14-0 lead after the first quarter. Back-to-back scores in the second from UCLA might have shaken the team before, but the Wildcats responded well to head into the break up 21-14 after de Laura ran in a score from 3 yards out.

De Laura finished by going 22-for-28 for 315 yards and two scores through the air while adding a third score on the ground. He continued the trend of matching rough outings with strong ones.

It was a redemptive kind of moment for de Laura, who has been close at other times this season but hasn’t quite been able to deliver a signature win.

Mission accomplished.

A hard-to-stomach loss for UCLA

This season was supposed to be different. The Bruins boast a fifth-year starter at quarterback and a veteran run game. The defense was overhauled this offseason in the hopes that the pieces would be in place for a Pac-12 title run.

Though those dreams aren’t technically dashed yet, UCLA has now dropped two of its last three games after a 7-0 start and gets to host USC next weekend.
