Bob Chesney’s Perfect UCLA Record Remains Intact With Hard Fought Win

UCLA maintained its perfect season with a 17-7 victory over Wisconsin on Saturday, marking a 6-0 start for the first time since 2022. The Bruins, the only undefeated team in the Big Ten, faced a significant challenge after losing starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava to a season-ending injury.

Backup Ty Dieffenbach stepped in, completing 22 of 33 passes for 264 yards, though he did not throw a touchdown pass and threw one interception. The Bruins' offense relied on the ground game, with Wayne Knight and Anthony Woods scoring the team's two rushing touchdowns, while Mateen Bhagani added a field goal in the first quarter.

UCLA dominated possession, holding the ball for 28:20 compared to Wisconsin's 13:57, while limiting the Badgers to just 208 yards and three successful third-down conversions out of 11 attempts. Looking ahead, UCLA will host Michigan State on October 24 and Nevada on October 31, both teams currently struggling with losing records.

These games present an opportunity for Dieffenbach to further establish himself as the team's new starter while UCLA continues its push for a College Football Playoff berth.
