- Nico Iamaleava will undergo knee surgery and sit out the remainder of the season for the ninth-ranked Bruins after being injured late in the first half of UCLA's 17-15 win over Oregon.
- Bob Chesney, in his first year as UCLA's head coach, announced Monday that the starting quarterback's season is over, forcing the ninth-ranked Bruins to turn to a backup for the rest of the slate.
Why it matters: UCLA, now ranked ninth, loses its starting quarterback for the remainder of the season after an injury suffered in a one-point win, thrusting first-year coach Bob Chesney into a backup-QB stretch drive he didn't plan for.
