TEAM NOTES
• Series: This was the seventh meeting between the teams with UCLA now holding a 4-3 edge. The Longhorns won the first two meetings, 20-17 in Austin in 1970, and 28-10 in Los Angeles the following season. The Bruins then won the next three contests, 66-3 in Austin (1997), 49-31 in Los Angeles (1998) and 34-12 in Austin (2010). The Longhorns were victorious in the last meeting, a 49-20 triumph in Los Angeles in 2011.
• Second Trip to Arlington: This was Texas' second time playing in AT&T Stadium. The Longhorns downed Nebraska, 13-12, in the 2009 Big 12 title game to advance to the BCS Championship.
• Game Captains: RB Malcolm Brown and DT Desmond Jackson served as game captains.
• Same Lineups: Texas utilized the same offensive and defensive starting lineups for the second straight game.
• Sack Attack: The Texas pass rush has been consistent in the first three games. After posting four in the season opener vs. North Texas and six last week vs. BYU, the Longhorns had three more in this evening's contest. The Horns entered the game tied for fourth in the FBS in sacks (5.0 per game) and UCLA was 122nd in sacks allowed (4.50 pg).
