UCLA's top quarterback, Ty Dieffenbach, suffered an upper-body injury late in the first half against Illinois and did not return to play.
The news of Ty Dieffenbach's exit from the game hits me like a punch to the gut - I'm still trying to process what I just saw, UCLA's star quarterback crumpling to the ground with an upper-body injury in the first half against Illinois. The senior was hit hard by Illinois defensive lineman Carter Janki with under a minute left in the half and required assistance getting off the field.
Ty Dieffenbach Exits Game with Upper-Body Injury Suffered
Dieffenbach suffered the injury after being brought down by Janki, and he didn't come out of the locker room to start the second half. The UCLA QB was replaced by 3rd string QB Madden Iamaleava, who is the younger brother of Nico Iamaleava, also a quarterback for the Bruins.
What The Filing Says
The FOX broadcast crew reported that Dieffenbach suffered an upper-body injury. This is not good news for UCLA fans, as their top quarterback was already struggling earlier in the season.
Madden Iamaleava Takes Over as Bruins Third-String Quarterback
Madden Iamaleava has stepped up to replace Ty Dieffenbach, but it remains to be seen how long he will hold onto the starting position. The Bruins are down to their third-string quarterback after this injury, and it's unclear what the future holds for them.
