Matchup Against UCLA - Oct. 15, 2015
• Christian McCaffrey ran for a school-record 243 yards rushing and four touchdowns in Stanford's 56-35 victory over No. 18 UCLA.
• McCaffrey scored on a 70-yard run out of the wildcat, returned a kick 96 yards to set up another score and ran for three more touchdowns in a virtuoso performance that broke Toby Gerhart's school record of 223 yards rushing in a game set in 2009. McCaffrey finished with 369 all-purpose yards as the Cardinal beat the Bruins for the eighth straight time.
• The lasting memory for the game was provided by Francis Owusu on his 41-yard touchdown catch. It started with McCaffrey taking a direct snap in the wildcat and handing to Bryce Love on a jet sweep. Love then flipped the ball to quarterback Kevin Hogan, who had lined up as a receiver on the play. Hogan set himself in the backfield and threw deep to Owusu. Despite being interfered with by a face-guarding Jaleel Wadood in the end zone, Owusu still managed to trap the ball against Wadood's back while not even being able to see it. Owusu managed to keep his hand on the ball to maintain control as the two fell to the ground.
• Hogan threw for 131 yards and three touchdowns on eight completions and McCaffrey took over the national lead in all-purpose yards. UCLA's Josh Rosen threw for 325 yards and three touchdowns and Paul Perkins ran for 104 and a score.
• Stanford maintained its dominance in this series with its most overwhelming performance in decades. The Cardinal have outscored the Bruins 277-131 during the current streak and had its highest-scoring game against the Bruins since a 57-0 win in 1929.
