US EditionUCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava leaves game after being sacked and injured
Iamaleava left after a helmet hit during a third-quarter sack; backup Luke Duncan threw a touchdown on his first drive, UCLA trailing 27-0 at the Rose Bowl, officials said.
- On Saturday, Nov. 22, 2025, UCLA starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava left the game after a sack and head hit in the third quarter, walking into a medical tent and then the locker room while Washington led 27-0 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
- On third down, Iamaleava tried to scramble before Bryce Butler sacked him for a 15-yard loss at the UCLA 25-yard line, leaving Iamaleava on the ground briefly.
- Statistically, Washington dominated, outgaining UCLA 426-208 as the Bruins committed three fumbles and converted only two-of-13 on third down with ten first downs.
- UCLA staff said Nico Iamaleava, UCLA starting quarterback, is being evaluated for a concussion after the helmet hit, adding uncertainty due to his recent missed game versus Ohio State and a Week 11 concussion.
- A viral fake field-goal sequence defined Saturday's game, as Cash Peterman's no-look lateral led to Washington safety Aidan McClaughlin's scoop-and-score, overshadowing UCLA football program's possible final Rose Bowl, Pasadena game.
