No. 4 UCLA defeated Illinois 22-14 on Friday night despite quarterback Ty Dieffenbach injuring his left shoulder in the second quarter.
No. 4 UCLA defeated Illinois 22-14 at the Rose Bowl on Friday night in rainy conditions, maintaining an unbeaten season. Quarterback Ty Dieffenbach injured his left shoulder with 35 seconds left in the first half after being hit by Illinois defensive lineman Carter Janki as he jumped to throw the ball away. He remained on the ground for more than three minutes before being escorted off the field by a trainer.
Third-stringer Madden Iamalaeva played the next three series for UCLA whilst Dieffenbach remained in the locker room with his arm feeling 'nervy', according to coach Bob Chesney. Dieffenbach returned to the sideline midway through the third quarter and re-entered the game in the second half. His return gave the Bruins the momentum they needed to pull away.
Dieffenbach threw for 232 yards and two touchdowns while overcoming the injury. Wide receiver Aiden Mizell had six catches for 176 yards and a touchdown, and Semaje Morgan added 56 yards receiving and a score. Scooter Jackson had two interceptions for UCLA, the last with 2:50 remaining. UCLA improved to 10-0, starting a season unbeaten for the third time in program history. Illinois fell to 6-4.
