Story summary

Ty Dieffenbach, the UCLA quarterback who had been filling in for injured Nico Iamaleava, suffered a lower-body injury during the first half against Michigan State on October 24 at the Rose Bowl. Dieffenbach left the field walking gingerly after being hit by multiple defenders, and the Bruins were leading 14-7 at halftime with all their points scored consecutively since Michigan State's early lead. If Dieffenbach cannot return, UCLA would likely turn to Madden Iamaleava, Nico’s younger brother. Prior to this game, Dieffenbach had completed 10 of 19 passes for 83 yards and ran for 14 more before his injury.
