Overview

  • On3 reported the ruling on game day, shared publicly by Brett McMurphy on X.
  • The concussion occurred during the Nebraska game, with symptoms identified after he finished the contest.
  • Duncan steps in with very limited game action this season and is in line for his first career start.
  • Iamaleava had started all nine games for UCLA and was the only Bruin to attempt a pass this season.
  • UCLA visits top-ranked Ohio State in Columbus, heightening the impact of the quarterback change.
