Wayne Knight scored twice as UCLA overcame 7 Oregon turnovers and an injury to Nico Iamaleava to stay unbeaten.
On Saturday, Oct. 10, 2026, UCLA remained undefeated with a 17-15 victory over No. 13 Oregon in Eugene, with backup quarterback Ty Dieffenbach leading the Bruins after starter Nico Iamaleava exited with a lower-body injury.
The sloppy game featured 10 turnovers, with UCLA's opportunistic defense forcing seven. Oregon managed only 272 yards as the Bruins stifled the Ducks throughout the contest.
Running back Wayne Knight rushed for 103 yards on 22 carries and scored two touchdowns, including a 35-yard run and a 9-yard reception from Dieffenbach.
After starter Dylan Raiola struggled, Oregon turned to third-string quarterback Brock Thomas, who led a late scoring drive but the Ducks failed on a two-point conversion at the 1-yard line.
UCLA coach Bob Chesney, in his first season, became the first in program history to start 5-0. The Bruins host Wisconsin next Saturday, while Oregon hosts Nebraska.
