UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava and head coach Tim Skipper have been warned of the uphill battles that lie ahead. Their 2025 slate features Penn State, MSU, Maryland, IU, Nebraska, Ohio State, UW, and USC, emphasizing that the road is only getting tougher.

UCLA announced the firing of head coach DeShaun Foster following the program’s first 0-3 start since 2019. With two consecutive losses to Mountain West opponents, the Bruins have tapped Tim Skipper to lead the team in an interim capacity.
