The UCLA Bruins secured a win against San Diego State on Saturday after a productive fourth quarter. Despite the victory, the Bruins struggled to find offensive rhythm through the first three quarters of play. Quarterback Nico Iamaleava finished the game with 151 passing yards and one red zone interception, remaining without a passing touchdown this season. The team also dealt with injuries to wide receivers Brian Rowe Jr. and Mikey Matthews. Wayne Knight spearheaded the rushing attack with three touchdowns, while Semaj Morgan led the receiving group with six catches for 73 yards. UCLA has now started their season 2-0, though the offense has relied on late-game surges in both matchups to secure their results.
