How UCLA’s Bob Chesney Engineered a Start to Remember – Can the Bruins Keep the Momentum Against Illinois?

Dieffenbach trotted back onto the field to a massive ovation and immediately delivered. He completed all five passes on a fourth-quarter march, capping it with a 26-yard touchdown strike to wide receiver Semaj Morgan, who finished with four receptions for 56 yards. Dieffenbach closed the night 13 of 20 for 232 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception.

Houser threw for 176 yards and two scores, connecting with tight end Kaden Feagin and wide receiver Collin Dixon, to pull Illinois (6-4) within five points. Still, UCLA held Illinois to 240 total yards, and Jackson’s second pick with 2:42 left plus Mateen Bhaghani’s 37-yard field goal sealed the historic win.
