Salt Lake City ? After starting the season 0-2 and facing No. 11 UCLA, Utah was ready for any breaks it could get.

UCLA offered plenty of chances, and Utah took advantage almost every time in a 44-6 upset on Saturday. The Utes forced five turnovers and kept the Bruins from scoring a touchdown for the first time in four years.

“Everything went right for us,” said Tommy Grady, who passed for three touchdowns and a career-best 243 yards and no interceptions.

Darrell Mack ran for 107 yards, becoming the Utes’ first 100-yard rusher since 2005.

Safety Robert Johnson made two interceptions and forced a critical fumble that turned a sure touchdown for UCLA into a touchback that really got the Bruins’ meltdown going.

Utah outscored UCLA 30-0 in the second half.

“We kept them off-balance,” Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. “We never let their quarterback get comfortable in the pocket and get a rhythm going.”
