Let's hit the local team's high points first:
Tyler Gonzalez, the former soccer manager, made a field goal.
Cool for him.
And ... um ... UCLA was outscored in the second half only 6-5 and won the fourth quarter, 5-3.
Sorry, it's the best we can do.
Arizona, losers of 10 in a row against teams from the Football Bowl Subdivision, thoroughly dominated UCLA on Thursday night in Tucson.
The Wildcats, who came in giving up an average of nearly 38 points and 488 yards a game, held the Bruins to one touchdown and 323 yards.
UCLA wanted to control the ball and the game's tempo with its running game -- keeping Arizona quarterback Nick Foles off the field. But the Bruins failed miserably.
UCLA ran for only 37 yards in 25 carries. Meantime, an Arizona running attack that came in averaging less than 72 yards a game, cranked out 254 yards.
And Foles was Foles. He completed 26 of 39 passes for 291 yards and three first-half touchdowns, all to Juron Criner.
It made a winner of Tim Kish, who was in his first game as Arizona's interim head coach after 36 years of being an assistant.
Arizona is 2-5 overall -- its only other win was against lower-division Northern Arizona -- and 1-4 in Pacific 12 Conference play.
UCLA fell to 3-4, 2-2 in conference.

Finally, a happy UCLA football story.
