No. 21 UCLA defeated No. 13 Oregon 17-15 on Saturday to remain undefeated despite losing starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava to injury.

No. 21 UCLA defeated No. 13 Oregon 17-15 on Saturday to remain undefeated at 5-0. The match featured ten turnovers, seven by Oregon, in a closely fought game.

Running back Wayne Knight was pivotal for UCLA, rushing for 103 yards on 22 carries and a touchdown, while also catching three passes for 12 yards. His fourth-quarter 9-yard touchdown reception from backup quarterback Ty Dieffenbach proved crucial. Nico Iamaleava, UCLA's starting quarterback, completed 10 of 17 passes for 162 yards and two interceptions before leaving with a lower leg injury late in the first half. Backup Ty Dieffenbach threw for 43 yards and the winning touchdown.

Oregon came close to victory, scoring on a 44-yard reception by Evan Stewart from Brock Thomas with 2:16 remaining to make it 17-15. The Ducks were then flagged for a facemask penalty on their two-point attempt, giving them another chance from half a yard away. UCLA's defence stopped running back Jordon Davison, and Oregon fumbled on their final drive as time expired. Oregon's loss, their second, damages their College Football Playoff prospects. They started the game without quarterback Dante Moore, who remains in concussion protocol after being hit against USC.
