Evaluating Nico Iamaleava's Mixed Performance In UCLA Victory How did Nico Iamaleava perform against Cal?
1 DAY AGO • SI.COM
Leads team to victory in opener Iamaleava was 14-for-22 passing for 184 yards and one interception during Saturday's 45-24 victory against California. He also had nine rushes for 29 yards with one touchdown.
Impact Iamaleava's performance was encouraging after struggling often during his first season at UCLA. Iamaleava showed his trademark dual-threat ability and used his legs to score a touchdown. He could still use some fine-tuning in the passing game, but his passing yardage total was better than several of his outings last season.

Rough win at Cal Iamaleava was 14-for-22 passing for 184 yards and one interception during Saturday's 45-24 victory against California. He also had nine rushes for 29 yards with one touchdown.
Impact Even though UCLA thrashed California in Week 1, Iamaleava was not quite part of the dominant display, throwing more interceptions than touchdowns and completing under 200 passing yards. By logging a rushing TD, he ensured the same number of scores as turnovers. Iamaleava's injury status was worth noting, as he suffered a leg injury late in the game. However, UCLA's head coach Bob Chesney ensured that the senior quarterback was alright post-game. "Yeah, he's (Iamaleava is) good. He just got his calf kind of got cleated, at the end there. He tried, and it just kept cramping up because of how he got cleated. We've got to do some work on that and get him cleaned up." Iamaleava's focus shifts to Week 2, when he and the Bruins will return home to host San Diego State next Saturday night.
