On a nationally televised broadcast, Mike Leach's first game as head coach of the Washington State Cougars was a 30-6 blowout loss to BYU, the former Texas Tech coach's alma mater. Despite Leach's offenses being typically known for their high scoring shootouts, the Wazzu Cougars were unable to score a single touchdown. This marked the first time that a Leach-led offense failed to score a touchdown since 2006, when Texas Tech lost to TCU 12-3. Wazzu quarterback Jeff Tuel threw for 228 yards and two interceptions, while the offense ran for -4 yards on the ground. The only points for the Washington State Cougars came from two field goals in the second quarter. BYU now leads the series 3–1.

The Bruins lead the series 18-39-1, which was started in 1928. Hours before the game, the Cougars' star receiver Marquess Wilson said in a press release that he has left the program because of the actions of first-year coach Mike Leach and his staff. Wilson was suspended earlier in the week for an unspecified violation of team rules. Wilson said the new staff has "preferred to belittle, intimidate and humiliate us." That included physical abuse, Wilson said. 1st quarter scoring: UCLA – Sheldon Price 68-yard blocked field goal return ; Dominique Williams 6-yard pass from Connor Halliday 2nd quarter scoring: UCLA - Johnathan Franklin 16-yard pass from Brett Hundley ; UCLA – Joseph Fauria 9-yard pass from Hundley ; UCLA – Anthony Barr safety; UCLA – Devin Fuller 10-yard pass from Hundley ; UCLA – Eric Kendricks 40-yard fumble recovery 3rd quarter scoring: WSU - Brett Bartolone 7-yard pass from Halliday ; UCLA – Jordon James 2-yard run ; WSU - Marcus Mason 4-yard pass from Halliday 4th quarter scoring: WSU - Dominique Williams 11-yard pass from Halliday ; WSU - Kristoff Williams 3-yard pass from Halliday
