On October 7, 2025, the UCLA Bruins pulled off a remarkable comeback victory against the Michigan State Spartans, winning 38-13 in a Big Ten conference matchup.
The Spartans struck first, with quarterback Aidan Chiles scoring on a 2-yard run to take an early 7-0 lead. However, the Bruins quickly took control of the game, scoring 38 unanswered points over the remainder of the contest.
Jalen Berger, a transfer from Michigan State, led the charge for UCLA, scoring three touchdowns on the day. Quarterback Nico Iamaleava also had an impressive performance, throwing for 180 yards and three touchdowns.
The Bruins' defense was stifling, holding the Spartans' offense in check for most of the game. Chiles was eventually forced to leave the game in the third quarter after being sacked, and his replacement, Alessio Milivojevic, threw a late touchdown pass to Nick Marsh.
With this victory, the Bruins have now won two straight games after a 0-4 start to the season. The Spartans, on the other hand, have dropped to 3-3 on the year and remain winless in Big Ten play.
