UCLA defeats Cal in a high-scoring, momentum-shifting game at Berkeley during Bob Chesney’s coaching debut. After Cal had stretches of control, UCLA responds to regain traction and ultimately pulls ahead late, keeping the Bruins’ season narrative lively in what outlets describe as a “Pac-12 After Dark” style matchup.

Both reports say the outcome is overshadowed by an injury to UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava. He leaves the game with an injury after playing a key role in UCLA’s offense, prompting a change at the position as the Bruins continue to manage the contest. The accounts differ mainly in tone and framing—one emphasizes the spectacle and momentum swings, while the other echoes the same description—while aligning on the key result and the injury concern.
