This is the season-opening game for both teams. Both San Diego State Offensive Coordinator Al Borges and Defensive Coordinator Rocky Long are former UCLA coaches. And Tony White, Aztecs cornerbacks coach, played and coached at UCLA. Free game tickets were given to firefighters and their families for fighting the "Station wildfire" at nearby Angeles National Forest.

Behind Rahim Moore’s three record-tying interceptions, UCLA Bruins defeated San Diego State 33-14. Aztecs scored first on a 4-yard pass from Ryan Lindley to Matthe Kawulok. The Bruins’ Kai Forbath kicked a 49-yard field goal. But Lindley passed to Vincent Brown for 78 yards to give San Diego State a 14-3 lead in the first quarter.

Those were the final points for the Aztecs. Then the Bruins scored 30-unanswered points on Johnathan Franklin’s 12-yard run in the first quarter, Derrick Coleman’s 29-yard run and the 6-yard pass from Kevin Prince to Terrence Austin in the second quarter. In the third quarter, Kai Forbath kicked a 50-yard field goal and Alterraun Verner returned a blocked field goal for a 70-yard touchtown.[6]
