UCLA quarterback Ty Dieffenbach injures shoulder late in 1st half against Illinois
(AP) — UCLA quarterback Ty Dieffenbach injured his left shoulder late in the second quarter Friday night against Illinois, leaving the No. 4 Bruins with third-stringer Madden Iamalaeva under center.
In the second quarter of Friday night's game against Illinois, UCLA quarterback Ty Dieffenbach suffered a shoulder injury, forcing the No. 4 Bruins to rely on backup Madden Iamalaeva. With just 35 seconds remaining, Dieffenbach attempted to evade pressure after receiving the snap but was hit by defensive tackle Carter Janki as he jumped and threw the ball away.
As a result, he landed heavily on his left shoulder and remained on the ground for over three minutes before being helped off the field by a trainer. UCLA's season-opening lead of 10-0 had dwindled to 10-7 at halftime. Dieffenbach, who transferred from Cal Poly, had gone 4-0 as the team's starter following his replacement of injured Nico Iamaleava, whose brother Madden serves as the third-string quarterback.
