Overview

  • After the Spartans opened with a touchdown, UCLA ripped off 38 unanswered points to take control by halftime and cruise in East Lansing.
  • Nico Iamaleava went 16-of-24 for 180 yards and three touchdowns, and ex-Spartan Jalen Berger scored three times with both rushing and receiving TDs.
  • A failed fourth-and-inches toss from Michigan State's 34 and a later UCLA fake punt conversion were key momentum swings that preceded the Bruins' surge.
  • Chiles left following a helmet-to-helmet hit early in the third quarter and did not return, with Alessio Milivojevic stepping in to later find Nick Marsh for a 5-yard score.
  • UCLA improved to 2-4 (2-1 Big Ten) with back-to-back wins under interim Tim Skipper, while Michigan State fell to 3-3 (0-3) with heightened scrutiny of Jonathan Smith ahead of a trip to No. 7 Indiana.
