Eugene, Ore. (AP) — UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava exited Saturday's matchup against No. 13 Oregon with a leg injury and didn't return for the second half as the Bruins took the lead over the Ducks. Iamaleava was doubtful to resume playing with the leg injury, according to a UCLA representative. He initially left the game in the second quarter following a timeout for the injury, attended to the injury once, and then returned, but threw an interception immediately, and didn't start the second half.
UCLA senior Ty Dieffenbach replaced Iamaleava in both instances. After escaping the pocket on the play to his left, Iamaleava was tackled by two Oregon players and suffered a left leg injury. A five-star recruit who transferred to UCLA ahead of the 2025 season from Tennessee, Iamaleava had completed 10 of 17 passes for 162 yards and threw two interceptions before his injury.
