🔮 A victory over No. 13 Oregon at Autzen Stadium would make Chesney the first coach in program history to start 5-0 while also putting the Bruins (4-0 overall, 2-0 Big Ten) firmly in the running for the College Football Playoff. How big of a deal is that? Remember, this is a program that hasn’t played in a major bowl game since going to the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, 1999. What’s happened since has been a forgettable collage of Holiday Bowls, losing seasons and tarps covering the end zones at their home stadium because of small crowds. So, yeah, beating the Ducks (3-1, 1-0) on national television would be huge. “It means,” Chesney said when asked about the possibility, “it’s a next step in what we can do.” Here are five things to watch in a game scheduled to kick off at 12:38 p.m. PDT on CBS: Ducks’ Backup plan Oregon erased any doubt about which quarterback UCLA would face midweek by listing Dante Moore as out.

2026-10-16 · New York Post

🔮 After helping UCLA hold off Oregon in relieft last weekend – eliminating the need to get back into those boats – Dieffenbach is expected to make his first start Saturday afternoon against Wisconsin (4-1) at the Rose Bowl. assertive

2026-10-18 · New York Post

🔮 While it might sound like an insult to suggest that a backup could be better than Nico Iamaleava, Dieffenbach’s performance during the No. 12 Bruins’ 17-7 victory over Wisconsin indicated that, at the least, his team should be in good hands the rest of the season. assertive
