UCLA upset Oregon 17-15. Video appeared to show Oregon defensive lineman Bear Alexander striking UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava in the head during a tackle after Iamaleava was already down. Officials did not flag or eject Alexander. Another Oregon defender also appeared to reach toward the ball on the same play. Iamaleava left the game with a lower-body injury and missed the second half. Reports said that injury was not caused by the apparent head contact. UCLA finished without its starting quarterback. Alexander drew criticism after the video circulated and could face Big Ten discipline if the conference concludes the strike was intentional. CONTESTED: No contested facts found. Whether the strike was intentional remains unresolved pending any Big Ten review.
