UCLA Quarterback Iamaleava Injured Late in the First Half Against Oregon
- UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava left Saturday's game against Oregon in Eugene with a leg injury and did not start the second half.
- The injury occurred when Iamaleava took a hard hit while escaping the pocket to his left, grabbing his left leg before trainers surrounded him.
- Prior to his exit, Iamaleava completed 10 of 17 passes for 162 yards and threw two interceptions; Bruins senior quarterback Ty Dieffenbach replaced him in both instances.
- Coach Bob Chesney initially indicated Iamaleava was okay at halftime, but CBS reporter Jenny Dell reported he was "doubtful" to return; he did not emerge for the second half.
- With the Bruins leading the Ducks 10-6, Iamaleava—a former five-star recruit who transferred from Tennessee—holds a $2.1 million NIL valuation for 2026 per On3Sports.
