UCLA Quarterback Nico Iamaleava Reportedly Will Not Play Against Ohio State Due to Concussion
UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava will not play against Ohio State due to a concussion, according to a report by On3’s Brett McMurphy.
Saturday night’s game was supposed to be a return to the Shoe for Iamaleava, who played against the Buckeyes in last year’s College Football Playoff as Tennessee’s quarterback. Instead, it will be the first career start for UCLA backup quarterback Luke Duncan.
A redshirt sophomore who was a three-star prospect in the 2023 recruiting class, Duncan has not attempted a pass all season – or at all in his UCLA career – as Iamaleava has thrown every pass for the Bruins this year.
Duncan has been one of the standouts on the 7v7 circuit this off-season and there’s a lot to like there. Duncan has a smooth, easy delivery and can get the ball down the field. He is accurate to all three levels and understands anticipation and getting the ball out on time. The theme for Duncan is consistency. He had some great throws where you saw the natural arm talent and he looks like one of the top pocket passers the region. We want to see him continue to improve mobility and his ability to make throws outside the pocket but there’s some definite upside with him for sure.

The silver bullets will probably be praying for him throughout the game when they’re not on the field giving him reasons to be prayed for.

I guess 14-7 game incoming. We've proven that if it's a QB's first major start we don't have what it takes to do anything, either. No other factors may have been at play, right SEC?UCLA Quarterback Nico Iamaleava Reportedly Will Not Play Against Ohio State Due to Concussion

What the hell happened to college coaches supposedly keeping the injury report legit due to sports wagering?
You telling me they didn't know he was in concussion protocol all week?
Now all of a sudden first thing Saturday, "oh by the way guys our QB has a concussion and can't play"
????
That is some shady shit

Nico was innocent in this. His dad and the coach probably not so much.

“Iamaleava suffered a concussion in UCLA’s loss to Nebraska last week, but concussion symptoms didn’t surface until after the game they saw the schedule.”
Fixed it.
