No. 5: Cats Hand Bruins Only Pac-10 Loss

Nov. 12, 1983

Arizona   27

UCLA        24
When UCLA came to Tucson in 1983 for this late-season affair, the Bruins were undefeated in Pac-10 play.

The Cats were looking for redemption after tying the No. 8 Bruins the previous season. It was a game the Cats felt they should have won in Pasadena.

A year later in Tucson Jay Dobyns caught an 8-yard touchdown pass from Tom Tunnicliffe with 1:01 left to give the Cats a three-point cushion.

On the last play of the game UCLA’s automatic kicker, John Lee missed a 37-yard field goal to give the Cats a well-deserved victory over the rival Bruins.

It would be the only loss in conference play during UCLA’s Rose Bowl winning 1983 campaign.
