  Michael Wiley ran for 214 yards and three touchdowns, and Arizona beat Arizona State 38-35 on Friday to end a five-game losing streak in the Territorial Cup rivalry. The Wildcats (5-7, 3-6 Pac-12) twice led by 10 points and let Arizona State back in it both times in a wild game that featured 1,018 combined yards. Wiley was Arizona's workhorse, finishing with the second-most rushing yards in Territorial Cup history behind Trung Candidate's 288 for Arizona in 1998. Trenton Bourguet threw for 376 yards and three touchdowns for Arizona State (3-9, 2-7) in Shaun Aguano's final game as interim coach. The Sun Devils got the ball back at their own 28-yard line with 1:33 after stopping Arizona on a fourth-and-1, but Bourguet threw his second interception after being hit.

The Sun Devils rallied from some early miscues to lead 14-10 at halftime. Once the second half started, neither team could stop the other, combining for five touchdowns and 429 yards in the third quarter alone. Giovanni Sanders caught a 9-yard touchdown pass from Bourguet to put Arizona State up 21-17. Wiley scored on runs of 12 and 72 yards to make it 31-21 Arizona. Xazavian Halladay scored on a 1-yard run after Jalin Conyers caught a 27-yard pass between two defenders, then Conyers scored on a wide-open 4-yard pass to put Arizona State up 35-31. DJ Williams answered with a 6-yard score to put Arizona back up and the Wildcats got the ball back on a strip sack of Bourguet with 3:17 left. Arizona State had one last chance after stopping the Wildcats on fourth down, but Isaiah Taylor made a diving interception after Jacob Manu hit Bourguet's arm. A melee between multiple players ensued, but the pick ended Arizona's five-year misery against its biggest rival. - Arizona/AP College Football

  Jayden de Laura accounted for three touchdowns and had his fifth 300-yard passing game of the season as Arizona upset ninth-ranked UCLA 34-28 Saturday night, snapping an eight-game road losing streak against ranked teams. "That was a big win for the program. It meant a lot," coach Jedd Fisch said after Arizona's first road win over a Top 10 team since it defeated No. 2 Oregon in 2014. "That was a fun game. It was pretty good to hold that team to 28 points. That is one of the top five offenses in college football." Zach Charbonnet rushed for 181 yards and three touchdowns for the Bruins (8-2, 5-2 Pac-12), whose chances of making the Pac-12 title game took a big hit. "We ran into a good quarterback. He extended plays like no one we played this year and even since we've been here (in 2018). The plays he made running around were the difference in the game," said UCLA coach Chip Kelly of de Laura's play. de Laura completed 22 of 28 for 315 yards and two TDs.

He also ran in from 3-yards out during the second quarter to give the Wildcats (4-6, 2-5) a 21-14 halftime lead. The sophomore is averaging 340.1 passing yards with 18 touchdowns and a 64.7% completion rate in his last seven games. "We've had close games throughout the year but we didn't finish them. Knowing we were able to close this out is important for the last two games," de Laura said. Michael Wiley ran for 97 yards and scored two touchdowns while Jacob Cowing caught nine passes for 118 yards. The Wildcats were in the lead most of the night but fell behind 28-24 with 10:22 remaining in the fourth quarter when Charbonnet had a 5-yard TD. Arizona responded with an 8-play, 82-yard drive, capped by de Laura's 17-yard pass to Tetairoa McMillan on fourth-and-4 to go back on top 31-28. After UCLA turned the ball over on downs, Tyler Loop extended the lead to six with a 23-yard field goal with 1:07 remaining. The Bruins drove down to the Arizona 29, but Dorian Thompson-Robinson threw three straight incomplete passes. He had Jake Bobo wide open in the end zone on the final play of the game, but Bobo was unable to come up with it after making a diving attempt. Thompson-Robinson was 26 of 40 for 245 yards and a touchdown. - Arizona/AP College Football

  Quali Conley rushed for a career-high 215 yards and Darius Nash had a game-turning interception to spark Utah Tech's 34-28 victory over Tarleton on Saturday. With Tarleton leading 14-10 and driving deep into Utah Tech territory Nash leaped high to make the interception and headed upfield, picking up a sideline block near midfield on his way to a 95-yard return for a touchdown. The touchdown started a run of 24 consecutive points that gave Utah Tech (4-6, 2-3 WAC) a 34-14 lead. The run included a 30-yard touchdown blast by Conley.

Tarleton (5-5, 1-4) finally answered with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, first on a 50-yard pass from Beau Allen to Darius Cooper and secondly on a 2-yard run by Ontario Douglas. Utah Tech recovered an onside kick after the second touchdown and ran the final minute-plus off the clock. Utah Tech's Victor Gabalis was 22-of-36 passing for 372 yards with touchdowns of 16 and 19 yards to Joey Hobert who finished with 10 receptions for 140 yards. Allen completed 28 of 48 passes for 397 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He was sacked six times. Cooper had 10 receptions for 173 yards. - Utah Tech/AP College Football

Rickie Johnson caught nine passes, three for scores, and finished with 277 yards receiving. Joey Hobert had eight receptions for 144 yards and two touchdowns. Gabalis connected with Johnson on a 79-yard touchdown late in the first quarter and a 6-yarder just before halftime that gave the Trailblazers a 27-22 lead at the break. Gabalis' 75-yard touchdown pass to Johnson stretched the lead to 41-29 with 1:07 remaining in the third. Isaiah Williams had two touchdown runs, and Elijah Burns and Justin Miller each had one for Southern Utah (3-6, 1-3). - Utah Tech/AP College Football

  Jayden de Laura threw for 484 yards and tied a school record with six touchdowns, Jacob Cowing caught 12 passes for 180 yards and a touchdown and Arizona used that big night through the air to beat Colorado 43-20 on Saturday. There were several offensive stars for Arizona, but it was a particularly good night for Dorian Singer, who made a pair of highlight-reel catches. The second - a fingertip catch in the back of the end zone for a 5-yard touchdown - gave the Wildcats a 19-7 lead. Singer finished with nine catches for 163 yards.

Arizona (3-2, 1-1 Pac-12) is halfway to the six wins needed for bowl eligibility, one year after a dismal 1-11 campaign. The Wildcats rolled up 673 yards of total offense. It was another lopsided loss for the Buffs (0-5, 0-2), who lost their first four games by at least 25 points and weren't much better against the Wildcats. Colorado freshman Owen McCown completed 14 of 30 passes for 186 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 43 yards and a touchdown. The Wildcats took a 26-13 lead into halftime. The game could have been even more lopsided but Arizona couldn't convert on a few good opportunities. Among them: Singer's acrobatic one-handed grab for a 47-yard gain early in the second quarter put Arizona on Colorado's 3-yard line, but the Buffs stuffed the next four plays to keep the Wildcats out of the end zone. De Laura threw for 273 yards and four touchdowns before halftime. - Arizona/AP College Football

  SEPT 12 PAC-12 CO-DEFENSIVE LINEMAN OF THE WEEK: Hunter Echols, RS Sr., DL, Arizona (Los Angeles, Calif.),...Echols made a season-high 2.0 tackles for a loss of 13 yards in the 31-28 win over North Dakota State on Saturday...Recorded one sack for a loss of 12 yards and forced a pivotal fumble to help the Wildcats come from behind in the victory. It marked the first forced fumble of his career. He recorded four solo tackles and four assists...On NDSU's first drive of the second quarter, Echols sacked Bisons QB Cam Miller for a loss of 12 yards and forced the ball out for a fumble, the fumble was recovered by linebacker Jerry Roberts. The offense then marched down the field, going 83 yards on 10 plays and scoring a touchdown on a seven-yard rush by QB Jayden de Laura to give Arizona a 14-7 lead with 5:45 left in the first half...Only the second Arizona player to achieve this honor since the award began prior to the 2019 season. Kyon Barrs won it in Week 10 of last season. First time a Pac-12 football player of the week award has been shared since 2008 when USC's C.J. Gable and OSU's James Rodgers were co-Special Teams Players of the Week. - Pac-12 Football

  As the final seconds ticked off the clock, Arizona's players sprinted down the field celebrating, knowing that a win over giant-slayer North Dakota State was no small feat. Six straight Football Bowl Subdivision teams had fallen to the Bison. A newly-revived Arizona program wasn't going to be the seventh. Jayden de Laura threw for 229 yards and a touchdown, ran for another score, and Arizona rallied to beat NDSU 31-28 on Saturday night. In the process, receiver Dorian Singer said he learned something about his Wildcats as Pac-12 play approaches. "When stuff hits the fan, if we have each other's back, we can beat anybody," said Singer, who finished with a team-high 88 yards receiving. The Wildcats snapped North Dakota State's FBS win streak at six games, dating to 2010.

The Bison have won nine out of the past 11 national championships at the FCS level and boast several NFL alumni - including quarterbacks Carson Wentz, Trey Lance and Easton Stick. Arizona was trailing 28-24 midway through the fourth quarter but got a crucial stop on fourth-and-2 at its own 23 to flip momentum. The Wildcats then drove the field and took a 31-28 lead on de Laura's perfectly placed 22-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Cowing in the corner of the end zone. Arizona's defense did the rest, holding NDSU's previously prolific running game in check. De Laura finished 20-of-29 passing. The Wildcats now have a 2-1 record one season after finishing with a 1-11 mark. "Our players did a fantastic job tonight," Arizona coach Jedd Fisch said. "It was a very clean football game. We were 4-for-4 in the red zone, no turnovers, one penalty." North Dakota State's Hunter Luepke scored three touchdowns - two on the ground and one through the air. He ran for 115 yards, leading the Bison's 283-yard rushing attack. - Arizona/AP College Football
