Nico Iamaleava's fumble: Bro pulled a Drake Maye

Not the Maye Meatball sub Nico Iamaleava has been a genuine bright spot through UCLA’s unbeaten start to the season, helping the Bruins jump out to a 3-0 record under new head coach Bob Chesney after last year’s disastrous 3-9 campaign. He’s completing nearly 63 percent of his passes while contributing real production on the ground too, and his continued leadership has been exactly what UCLA was hoping to build around in year two of his tenure in Westwood. What makes this stretch so compelling is the personal growth story behind it, with Iamaleava speaking openly about learning from the mental and emotional challenges of his tumultuous departure from Tennessee and subsequent rough first year at UCLA. Now adapting to his third different offensive system in as many seasons, he’s embraced a genuine leadership role for this program, and with the Bruins off to their best start in years, Iamaleava looks like he’s finally settling into the player many once projected him to become as a five-star recruit.
