No one at UCLA will likely shed a tear when Stanford’s Kevin Hogan graduates this spring.

If he hadn’t before, Hogan wore out his welcome with the Bruins in a 56-35 victory at Stanford Stadium on Thursday.

Hogan completed eight of 15 passes for 131 yards and three touchdowns. It left him with more victories over the Bruins than any other quarterback. Hogan is 5-0 in four seasons against UCLA.

Some of the losses were particularly painful for the Bruins. Hogan led the Cardinal to a 27-24 victory over UCLA in the 2012 Pac-12 championship game. A year ago, he engineered a 31-10 rout over the Bruins, which denied them a spot in the conference title game.

Hogan completed 73 of 103 passes for 907 yards and eight touchdowns in the five victories over UCLA.

Andrews deep

UCLA sophomore receiver Darren Andrews made his first career touchdown one for the resume.

Andrews, who missed last season and most of the 2013 season with injuries, streaked unmolested down the center of the field and hauled in a pass 70-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. It was the longest touchdown throw this season for quarterback Josh Rosen.

Andrews finished with a career-high four receptions for 100 yards.

Charting

Paul Perkins’ dipsy-doodle 43-yard run in the first quarter, in which he weaved through the entire Stanford defense, moved him past Chris Markey into eighth place on UCLA’s career rushing list.

Perkins finished with 104 yards rushing. He has 2,829 career yards.

Senior center Jake Brendel made his 45th career start to tie him for third on UCLA’s all-time list. Jeff Baca (2008-12), Johnathan Franklin (2009-12), Sheldon Price (2009-12) and Jarrad Page (2002-05) also had 45 starts.

Linebacker Spencer Havner (2002-205) holds the UCLA record with 48 career starts.

McDermott injured

Left tackle Conor McDermott left the game in the first half after suffering what appeared to be a right knee injury. Redshirt freshman Kolton Miller replaced him.

McDermott suffered a shoulder injury at Stanford in 2013 in his first game as a tackle.

Walker ejected

UCLA receiver Kenneth Walker III was ejected from the game for targeting, a rarity for an offensive player.

Rosen was scrambling late in the second quarter and Walker came back to help. He leveled Stanford linebacker Blake Martinez.

Scoreboard

This was the fourth consecutive game that Stanford has scored 40 or more points. The last time the Cardinal had a streak as long was 2011.

U-S-A, U-S-A

Former Stanford soccer players Kelley O’Hara and Christen Press were honored after the first quarter. Both were part of the U.S. team that won the women’s world cup this past summer.
