Summary
- UCLA's starting quarterback suffered an upper-body injury during the game.
- Third-string quarterback Madden Iamaleava replaced the injured starter.

Dieffenbach was injured on an incomplete pass and his status for the remainder of the game was uncertain.
Coach Bob Chesney expressed excitement about seeing Madden Iamaleava compete. Before this game, Ty Dieffenbach had been the starting quarterback for four consecutive games, having replaced Nico Iamaleava who suffered a torn ACL. The Bruins held a 10-0 lead over Illinois at halftime.
