The UCLA Bruins remained the Big Ten's only undefeated team with a 17-7 Week 7 home win over Wisconsin that made Bob Chesney's team bowl eligible in his first year as a Big Ten head coach. Fans wondered whether or not UCLA is the new Indiana as they moved to 6-0 on the season.

Chesney spoke to NBC Sports after the game, during which he shared a compliment on his backup QB Ty Dieffenbach, who filled in for the injured Nico Iamaleava.

“I think a lot like our team he's got resolve, he sticks together, he has confidence in himself and he's excited to go make plays, not nervous to make mistakes, and that's what I was very pleased with today.”

Dieffenbach's confidence helped him pass for 264 yards with former Michigan receiver Semaj Morgan leading the Bruins in receiving with five catches for 84 yards. Dieffenbach threw an interception, but the Bruins' athletic defense picked him up, holding Badgers transfer QB Colton Joseph to 66 yards passing on the night.
