Ty Dieffenbach’s Stunning Rise: UCLA’s Former 3rd-String QB Leads Unbeaten Bruins

  • On Saturday, UCLA defeated Wisconsin 17-7 at the Rose Bowl, improving to 6-0 for the first time since 2022. Head coach Bob Chesney became the first UCLA coach to begin his tenure with six consecutive wins.
  • Backup quarterback Ty Dieffenbach made his first start for the Bruins, replacing starter Nico Iamaleava after he sustained a leg injury last week at Oregon. The defensive unit held Wisconsin to 214 total yards.
  • Dieffenbach completed 22 of 33 passes for 264 yards on 67% completion, while the Bruins' defense limited Wisconsin to 66 passing yards. The Badgers committed 10 penalties for 102 yards in Pasadena, Calif.
  • Running back Wayne Knight and running back Anthony Woods each scored touchdowns, extending UCLA's lead. A fourth-quarter defensive stop on fourth-and-two at the Bruins' 48-yard line sealed the victory for the undefeated team.
  • Undefeated in the Big Ten, the Bruins host Michigan State next Saturday in their next matchup. Wisconsin, which fell to 4-2, returns to Madison to face the USC Trojans in Week 8.
