He produced 59 first downs with his 77 receptions and two of the other 18 resulted in a touchdown. Mitchell flashed his explosive big-play capability against the Crimson Tide. In the first quarter, he took a pitch from tailback DeShaun Foster and hit split end Brian Poli-Dixon with a perfect strike in the back of the end zone for a 31-yard touchdown pass to give the Bruins a 14-7 lead. In the third quarter, he beat his man, hauled in a strike from Ryan McCann for a 46-yard touchdown to give UCLA the lead for good, On the afternoon, Mitchell led the team with four receptions for 91 yards. Against Fresno State, he led the Bruins with six receptions for 58 yards, including a 20-yard touchdown catch in the first half. Four of his six receptions resulted in first downs, including his TD. The explosive Mitchell was on fire against Michigan. The Bruins leading receiver made 10 receptions, the fourth-highest (tied) single-game total in UCLA history, for 137 yards and produced nine first downs with those 10 catches. Against Oregon, he again led the Bruins with six receptions, good for 158 yards and one touchdown on a 54-yard catch-and-run from Drew Bennett. In the victory over Arizona State, he made four receptions for 125 yards and two touchdowns. His eight-yard scoring catch in the third quarter briefly gave the Bruins a lead and his 80-yard catch-and-run with 1:31 remaining in the same period put them ahead for good. It was the longest reception of his career and ninth longest in school history. At California, Mitchell made eight receptions for 167 yards -- the eighth-highest single-game total in school history -- and one touchdown. His touchdown was a third-down slant pass that he turned into a 35- yard TD and it tied the game at 28 with 5:59 remaining in regulation. He also had a 46-yard reception on UCLA s first scoring drive. Against Oregon State, he made five receptions for a team-high 94 yards and produced four first downs. At Arizona, Freddie made two of his seven grabs on the game-winning touchdown drive. His first catch on the drive went for 23 yards and moved the Bruins into Arizona territory at the UA 43-yard line. His second catch of the drive was perhaps the key play of the day as he caught a pass on fourth- and-four with 1:41 remaining on the clock and ran it down to the Arizona 18. Five of his seven catches on the day were good for first downs. In the victory over Stanford, he made seven receptions for 185 yards -- the fourth-highest single-game total in UCLA history -- and one touchdown. His twisting 41-yard touchdown reception gave the Bruins a lead with 6:58 remaining and his 56-yard reception on which he stopped and out-fought the defensive back for the ball gave the Bruins a first down on the Cardinal 12-yard line with under two minutes to play. Six of his seven receptions accounted for first downs and four measured at least 28 yards. His average of 26.4 yards per catch is amazing, especially since his first reception, good for 30 yards, was officially a one-yard reception due to a blocking penalty. At Washington, he made seven receptions for 65 yards and three first downs. Against USC, he made four receptions for 140 yards (35.0 average) and one touchdown and also threw a 45- yard scoring strike to Brian Poli-Dixon to give UCLA a 14-7 lead. His 74-yard catch-and-run gave the Bruins a first down at the six-yard line en route to a touchdown, his four-yard scoring reception gave UCLA a lead and his 51-yard reception was the key play on the drive that tied the game at 35 with 1:05 remaining. He had three first downs and a touchdown with his four catches. Against Wisconsin in the Sun Bowl, he enjoyed one of the best days of his career. Facing Thorpe Award winner Jamar Fletcher, Mitchell made nine receptions for a UCLA bowl-record 180 yards and one touchdown, a 64-yard catch-and-run that evened the score at 7-7. Seven of his nine receptions produced first downs and three measured at least 20 yards. The 180 yards rank fifth on UCLA s single-game list, just five yards behind his career high of 185, set earlier this year versus Stanford Saw action in all 11 games and led the Bruin receivers with 38 catches for 533 yards Starter in six games Twenty-three of his catches resulted in Bruin first downs He was at his best vs. Fresno State when he grabbed nine balls for 149 yards to set career marks in both categories His nine-catch performance tied for seventh on the school single-game list while his 149 yards were tied for 16th on that list His 57-yard catch-and-run set up UCLA's final touchdown of the game At Oregon State, he made the highlight reel with a one-handed reception made while lying on his back In the finale against USC, he made five catches for a teamhigh 88 yards, including two 37-yard receptions Led the Bruins 1
