Overview

  • UCLA erased an early 7-0 deficit with 38 unanswered points, aided by short fields from a fake punt and a forced fumble in East Lansing.
  • Former Spartan Jalen Berger led the surge with three touchdowns and 83 rushing yards on 13 carries, adding three receptions for 24 yards.
  • Nico Iamaleava completed 16 of 24 passes for 180 yards and three touchdowns without an interception to guide a turnover-free offense.
  • Michigan State mustered 253 total yards and unraveled after a failed fourth-and-1 at its own 34, producing seven straight empty possessions as coach Jonathan Smith called the decision “on me.”
  • Starting quarterback Aidan Chiles exited in the third quarter after a hit and did not return, leaving the Spartans 3-3 (0-3 Big Ten) ahead of an Oct. 18 trip to Indiana while UCLA hosts Maryland next.
