(AP) — Wayne Knight rushed for a touchdown and caught another score, and No. 21 UCLA overcame an injury to starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava to remain undefeated with a 17-15 victory over No.
Eugene, Ore. (AP) — In a turnover-riddled contest, UCLA's No. 21 team secured a 17-15 victory over No. 13 Oregon, maintaining their undefeated record. Quarterback Nico Iamaleava struggled, completing only 10 of 17 passes for 162 yards and two interceptions. However, backup Ty Dieffenbach stepped up, throwing for 43 yards and a touchdown.
UCLA's Wayne Knight led the way with 103 rushing yards on 22 carries and three receptions for 12 yards, including a crucial fourth-quarter touchdown reception from backup Ty Dieffenbach. Oregon's Evan Stewart managed a 44-yard scoring pass from Brock Thomas, but UCLA's defense stifled Oregon's final drive. Starting quarterback Iamaleava missed the second half due to a lower leg injury.
The game featured 10 turnovers, with seven coming from Oregon, who now find themselves without a chance at a College Football Playoff spot.
