UCLA quarterback Ty Dieffenbach injures shoulder late in 1st half against Illinois
Pasadena, Calif. (AP) — UCLA quarterback Ty Dieffenbach suffered a left shoulder injury late in the second quarter of Friday night's game against Illinois. This left the No. 4 Bruins with third-stringer Madden Iamalaeva taking over as the starting quarterback. With just 35 seconds remaining in the half, Dieffenbach attempted to evade pressure after receiving the shotgun snap.
After being hit in the legs by defensive tackle Carter Janki as he jumped to throw the ball away, he landed heavily on his left shoulder and remained down on the field for over three minutes before being helped off by a trainer.
