UCLA upsets No. 13 Oregon 17-15 to remain undefeated

No. 21 UCLA defeated No. 13 Oregon 17-15 at Autzen Stadium on October 10, 2026, to remain undefeated. The Bruins' victory was marked by a strong defensive performance that forced multiple turnovers, including seven total turnovers by the Ducks during the contest.

UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava left the game in the second quarter due to a lower-leg injury following a tackle involving Oregon's Bear Alexander. Backup Ty Dieffenbach stepped in, completing passes for 43 yards and a touchdown. UCLA running back Wayne Knight led the offense with 103 rushing yards and a touchdown.

Oregon's offense struggled throughout the game, led by starter Dylan Raiola, who completed 6 of 19 passes for 43 yards and two interceptions, before being replaced by Brock Thomas in the fourth quarter. Thomas provided a late surge with 156 passing yards and a touchdown, but Oregon fell short on a final two-point conversion attempt.

Following the game, Oregon head coach Dan Lanning noted that the team must continue to address offensive consistency. UCLA head coach Bob Chesney praised his team's ability to step up after losing Iamaleava.
