- LB/DB: My friend who is a teacher at Carson...just sent me the score.

- UCLA WR Landon Ellis suffered a concussion against Cal; Bruin247 expects him to miss San Diego State, but does not report a confirmed ruling. Chesney said Aidan Mizell was fully cleared after an apparent camp hamstring injury. Mizell, Shane Rosenthal and Leland Smith are possible replacements, not announced starters. - UCLA safety Tao Johnson is battling an unspecified injury and may miss San Diego State, per Bruin247. The writer projects Ta'Shawn James beside Malik Hartford if Johnson is out, with Cole Martin or Mason Rivera possible rotation options. This is a projected secondary arrangement, not a confirmed lineup. - UCLA QB Nico Iamaleava went 14-of-22 for 184 yards against Cal and completed both attempts beyond 20 air yards for 76 yards. Chesney criticized his second-quarter interception and fourth-quarter fumble, which UCLA recovered. The deep completions were encouraging, but the coach identified ball security as an issue entering San Diego State.

- UCLA receiver Landon Ellis did not participate in Wednesday's practice after leaving the Cal game with what the reporter described as an apparent concussion, and Chesney's earlier comments did not establish clearance for San Diego State. - UCLA safety Tao Johnson warmed up Wednesday but was not seen in the media-accessible team period or subsequent drills, while Chesney said the recurring issue required reduced contact without confirming his game status. - UCLA tight end Josh Phifer was dealing with an unspecified issue that the report said could affect his availability against San Diego State, with no diagnosis or final status supplied. - UCLA running back Anthony Woods remained in a black non-contact jersey at Wednesday's practice, which documents a contact restriction rather than confirming either a game absence or full clearance. - UCLA's offense produced three touchdown passes during the limited red-zone period visible to reporters, with Nico Iamaleava finding Wayne Knight and Jaivian Thomas and Madden Iamaleava connecting with Karson Cox, a practice observation rather than a full-session efficiency measure.

- Pick/market: Sammy Omosigho, Wayne Knight and Ta'Shawn James have all received honors as a result of their contributions in UCLA's 45-24 Week 1 win over Cal.

- DB: Now make that three UCLA football players with national weekly honors.

- Senior linebacker Sammy Omosigho led UCLA with 14 tackles, two tackles for loss, a sack and a forced fumble in his Bruins debut against California, with his late-first-half strip sack creating possession at the Cal 37-yard line. - Senior safety Ta'Shawn James recorded two interceptions and eight tackles in UCLA's 45-24 season-opening win at California.

- Coaching: Will the O-line/D-line change 2.

- QB/WR: I liked the QB roll out option - Nico pitched it out for a great gain / Like someone said above, too many tipped passes - seems like he had a bunch last year...

- Pick/market: It was announced on Monday that UCLA defensive back Ta'Shawn James has been named Big Ten Co-Defensive Player of the Week.

- Pick/market: UCLA head coach Bob Chesney met with the media Monday following UCLA's big win over Cal.

- UCLA allowed Cal 410 total yards but only 66 in a scoreless fourth quarter, as two interceptions and two turnovers on downs helped the Bruins finish with 21 unanswered points in a 45-24 win. - UCLA defensive back Ta'Shawn James recorded eight tackles and intercepted consecutive Cal possessions in the fourth quarter, providing the secondary's decisive late takeaways. - UCLA linebacker Sammy Omosigho totaled 13 tackles, one sack and two tackles for loss against Cal, while fellow linebacker Jalen Woods added 11 tackles and half a tackle for loss.
