Entering the final quarter trailing 17-12, UCLA put together a 10-play, 75-yard drive capped by Jones’ 13-yard touchdown run.
The two-point conversion attempt failed, but no matter because Oladejo intercepted Cougars quarterback Cam Ward on the very first play of the next drive.
That allowed the Bruins to head downfield in four plays for Jones to score again, this time on a 22-yard run.
UCLA outgained Washington State 482-216 and went 3-for-3 on fourth down. The Bruins dominated time of possession 38:32-21:28.
