The UCLA Bruins stayed perfect on the 2026 season, getting a 17-7 win over Wisconsin on Saturday at the Rose Bowl.

In a hard-fought victory, the UCLA Bruins secured a 17-7 win over the Wisconsin Badgers at the Rose Bowl, extending their undefeated record to 6-0. The Bruins' defense, led by defense coordinator Colin Hitschler, displayed remarkable resilience, holding Wisconsin to 3-10 on third downs and securing a fourth-down stop. Quarterback Ty Dieffenbach, making his first start as a UCLA Bruin, showcased his skills by completing 22 of 33 passes for 264 yards.

Despite the interception thrown by Semaj Morgan, the wide receiver excelled with five catches for 84 yards, proving his reliability as a key contributor. Leading linebacker Jalen Woods shone with a sack and a school-record nine tackles, including seven solo tackles, demonstrating his invaluable role in the Bruins' defensive success.

Head coach Bob Chesney, who has revitalized the program, was undoubtedly a hero for his team's gritty performance, guiding UCLA to a commanding 6-0 record.
