Ty Dieffenbach threw a touchdown pass and ran for another score as UCLA forced four interceptions and recorded its first Rose Bowl shutout since 2007.

  • On Saturday, October 31, 2026, the UCLA Bruins improved to 8-0 for the first time since 2005, defeating the Nevada Wolf Pack 27-0 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
  • Head coach Bob Chesney's defense delivered the team's first shutout since 2007, forcing four turnovers including a 26-yard interception return for a touchdown by senior defensive back Derrick Barksdale.
  • Starting quarterback Ty Dieffenbach recorded 178 passing yards and one rushing touchdown, while running back Wayne Knight added a 12-yard scoring reception to extend the Bruins' lead.
