- UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava was pressured on 28% of dropbacks against Cal, 32% against San Diego State and 38% against Purdue, according to the Maryland-week preview. He left the Purdue game twice with injury but returned both times. This is a worsening three-game protection trend, not a fresh diagnosis, new tackle assignment or announced Maryland-game limitation. - After Purdue's Ryan Browne went 17-for-23 for 312 yards, two touchdowns and one interception on throws of 20 or fewer air yards, UCLA defensive coordinator Colin Hitschler told his DBs during Maryland week to stop overthinking and trust their technique. The article's ideas about man coverage or personnel changes are writer inference, not announced coverage or lineup decisions.

- QB: There's a lot going on each and every play that I know I don't see.

- QB: Gotta cut out the dumb penalties, pressure the QB and cover the flare passes.

- QB: Purdue’s OC read Hitschler like a book and smelled overeager red dog from the get go on the first play

- QB: Yes he's a Drama Queen and Prima Donna BUT, he's one hell of a QB and damn good player.

- Bob Chesney confirmed Monday that UCLA slot receiver Mikey Matthews will miss the rest of the season after foot surgery for the injury suffered against San Diego State. - Chesney said UCLA receiver Leland Smith voluntarily joined the extra-reps Sunday scrimmage, won its weekly award and followed it with a strong practice week and contested third-down catches against Purdue. The account supports an earned opportunity, not a guaranteed starting role or future snap count. - Chesney attributed UCLA's improved passing against Purdue to quarterback-receiver timing, spacing and precise practice execution, not a mechanical change by Nico Iamaleava. He also said added play-action and boot action helped loosen the run defense. - Chesney said Purdue's tempo exposed UCLA defensive lapses in fundamentals and leverage, with help coverage sometimes failing to arrive. He wants the staff to identify mismatches honestly and provide help where needed; he did not announce a replacement starter or a new defensive scheme.

- Pick/market: How concerned should we be that we've struggled against SDSU (a team with zero passing ability from the QB), Cal (who still looks like the same old Cal even with all of that talent)...

- QB/DL: It seems apparent to me that the group that will determine how successful this season can be is the defensive line, and specifically that edge spot across from Sahir West.

- ROSEMONT, Ill. – Senior linebacker Sammy Omosigho of the UCLA football team was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week on Monday afternoon after his dominant performance in the Bruins’ conference-opening 52-38 victory over Purdue at the Rose Bowl on Sept. - It marked the third straight game that Omosigho had forced a fumble, giving him four overall on the season. - He is the first Bruin...

- QB: I’m not an expert, but I think the secondary would have looked a lot better had we put more pressure on Browne.

- Pick/market: True and that probably goes for most of the other teams who lose their starting QB.

- QB/LB: Through three games, the team has demonstrated that they're capable of making big play after big play on both sides of the ball.

- QB/RB: fair to say SDSU may have a putrid offense.

- QB: Entire secondary pretty much —Undisciplined, sloppy and then just rattled.

- QB: I haven't kept up with the rules but this is the second time this season I have heard the announcer say you can't hit a QB low.

- QB: Agree on Browne - the secondary had problems and a ton of bad luck on drive extending penalties…but Browne for awhile there was just shredding us with accurate and timely passes even vs decent...

- QB/RB: I kinda hope Connor quits or gets fired… maybe he goes back to covering his team… sc….

- Pick/market: This time last year, UCLA was 0-3 and about to undergo coaching changes.

- QB/DB: there is no pressure on Qb… team is also not discipline ..

- Pick/market: PASADENA - The UCLA football team will be looking to go 3-0 this weekend as the Purdue Boilermakers visit Pasadena.

- QB: The defense isn’t looking good tonight, but honestly, they didn’t look great last week either.

- QB/DL: Idk this feels like some combination of problematic DB/DL talent, a poor scout/gameplan and a QB on hot streak.

- QB/LB: When all you can praise your QB for is his toughness (but deservedly so)...

- Injury: The plan was to stop the run, which they did — at a huge cost since our secondary is weak, at least with the current injuries, and had zero ability to cover that slot...
