Nico Iamaleava News, Rumors, Updates - UCLA Bruins | FOX Sports

Logs efficient line in blowout Iamaleava completed 15 of 24 passes for 209 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 54-3 win versus Maryland. He also had six rushes for two yards.

Impact The most glaring element of Iamaleava's result was the lack of rushing production, considering he averaged 47.0 yards per game prior to Saturday's contest. He leaned on his arm, recording over 200 passing yards for the second straight week, and left most of the running production to Wayne Knight and a host of backups after the game was well in hand. The team gets a break in Week 5, and Iamaleava will get some extra time to prep for a tough game against Oregon.

The more Iamaleava delegates the load to his playmakers, the better he performs.

Impact Although Iamaleava threw a pick, he had a handle on the offense and was mostly effective in getting the Bruins up and down the field. The youngster still needs some seasoning in the passing game, but he seems to make incremental improvements during every start, which is encouraging for fantasy managers who chose to invest in him.

Evaluating Nico Iamaleava's Mixed Performance In UCLA Victory How did Nico Iamaleava perform against Cal?

SEPTEMBER 7 • 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.
