"It went about as well as one might expect. Don't blame Duncan, the UCLA backup quarterback who did his best with a conservative game plan in the absence of Nico Iamaleava. It was just that the Bruins were so thoroughly outclassed that they basically had no chance with their star quarterback sidelined by concussion symptoms he experienced earlier in the week."
"There was a sack by linebacker Jalen Woods to end a Buckeyes drive early in the third quarter, forcing them to punt. There was a fourth-down stop on Ohio State's next drive that gave the ball back to the Bruins. Duncan finally put his team on the board late in the third quarter when he found Kwazi Gilmer cutting across the field for an 18-yard touchdown."
Nico Iamaleava did not play because of concussion symptoms, so redshirt sophomore Luke Duncan made his first career start against No. 1 Ohio State. Ohio State scored on its first five drives and led 27-0 at halftime en route to a 48-10 victory. The Bruins were outgained 440-222 and were missing veteran guard Garrett DiGiorgio on the offensive line. UCLA defense tightened in the second half, producing a sack by Jalen Woods and a fourth-down stop. Duncan completed 16 of 23 passes for 154 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions; the touchdown was an 18-yard pass to Kwazi Gilmer.
