NCAAF College Football News, Photos, Stats, Scores, Schedule & Videos...
A week following the program's biggest win in years, the No. 12 UCLA Bruins have another huge hurdle to face. UCLA will be without starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava, not only for Saturday's game against the Wisconsin Badgers, but for the rest of the 2026 season.
We'll see how UCLA deploys Ty Dieffenbach and Madden Iamaleava at the quarterback position but it seems like a safe bet that the Bruins will look to rely on their rushing attack on Saturday at the Rose Bowl, with UCLA comes into the game as the No. 6 rushing offense in the country.
While UCLA is still unbeaten at 5-0, Wisconsin is right behind them at 4-1. The Badgers were blown out in their season-opener against Notre Dame since then the Badgers have been firing on all cylinders, picking up Big Ten wins over Penn State and Michigan State.
