{ "title": "UCLA's Iamaleava Faces Uncertain Future with Concussion, Bruins Host Washington", "article": "UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava is dealing with a concussion that forced him out of the team's blowout loss to No. 1 Ohio State last weekend. The highly touted transfer from Tennessee could return to practice as early as Tuesday, but his status hinges on the outcome of his treatment and testing, according to interim coach Tim Skipper. Iamaleava suffered the injury during the Bruins' loss to Nebraska on November 8, with symptoms emerging later. He was replaced by redshirt sophomore Luke Duncan, who played a solid game despite the challenging circumstances. Duncan, who found out he would be starting the night before, credited Iamaleava for his support. The two players went over the game plan together, with Duncan praising Iamaleava's help. The Bruins are set to host Washington on Saturday, which may be their final home game at the historic Rose Bowl. The school is embroiled in a legal dispute with the City of Pasadena over the lease agreement, which runs until 2043. However, UCLA officials have not made an official decision on potentially moving to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. The Bruins will conclude their season against rival USC on November 29 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, having fallen short of bowl eligibility. Interim coach Skipper is focused on finishing the season on a high note, despite the challenges the team is facing. 'We're going to attack the situation and try to do everything we can to be successful,' Skipper said."
