SALT LAKE CITY — Quarterback Brett Hundley hit the trifecta Thursday night with one touchdown apiece throwing, receiving and rushing to lead No. 12 UCLA to a 34-27 victory over Utah that lifted the Bruins to 4-0 for the first time since 2005.

The Bruins’ defense did more than its share, as well, intercepting six of Utah quarterback Travis Wilson’s passes, including on the last drive after Wilson led the Utes to the UCLA 23 with less than a minute left.

Hundley, who went 17 for 27 for 211 yards, also had an interception, throwing an ill-advised pass into the flat that Keith McGill picked off and returned 19 yards for a touchdown to tie it at 24 with 13:23 left.

But the sophomore quarterback followed with a meticulous, 13-play, 48-yard drive — completing a pair of passes to convert third downs, then scrambling for 8 yards to set up the go-ahead field goal.

Shortly after Anthony Jefferson’s second interception of the night, Hundley ran 36 yards to put the Bruins (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12) ahead 34-24 and they held on after Utah made a field goal to pull within seven, then recovered the onside kick.

Moments after the game ended, a snow squall began over Rice-Eccles Stadium, where UCLA has had no luck in the recent past. This snapped a two-game losing streak at Utah that spanned six years and two coaches. More importantly, the Bruins established themselves as the early team to beat in a Pac-12 South division in which every other team has at least one loss and their cross-city rivals, Southern California, has two.

Meanwhile, Hundley made a case as one of the most versatile quarterbacks in the country.

Combined with his 85 rushing yards, Hundley finished 4 yards short of reaching the 300-yard mark in total offense for the fourth time in four games this season.
