UCLA Football routed North Carolina Central Saturday afternoon in Pasadena, Calif., with an explosive run game, besting the Eagles 59-7 in the matchup at the Rose Bowl.

True freshman quarterback Dante Moore picked up the start for the second-consecutive week. Moore completed eight of his 12 attempts, throwing for 182 yards and two touchdowns before handing off the reigns.

UCLA's rushers proved dominant as the Bruins ran for more than 400 yards, outpacing NCCU 404-103. Saturday's running performance marks the most rushing yards by UCLA since it recorded 402 yards against Arizona State in 2022. Five Bruins recorded rushing touchdowns in the win; UCLA last scored six rushing touchdowns against Arizona in 2015.

The defense stayed locked in throughout the game, denying NCCU from moving downfield. UCLA stopped the Eagles on 11 of their 16 third-down attempts, and the Bruins held North Carolina Central to 3.6 yards per play.
