Nico Iamaleava ignited UCLA with a five-TD masterclass in a 42-37 upset of No. 6 Penn State at the Rose Bowl, piling up 166 passing yards (17-of-24) and 128 rushing yards on 16 carries. Two passing TDs and three rushing TDs helped UCLA seize and sustain a 27-7 halftime lead, with the decisive fourth-quarter score sealing the win.

The breakout arrives after a roller-coaster start to UCLA life and a high-profile NIL dispute that preceded his move from Tennessee. This performance elevates his fantasy ceiling and reframes UCLA’s offensive potential as they navigate a tougher schedule, beginning with Michigan State.

Dylan Raiola, Nebraska's sophomore QB and son of Dominic Raiola, is flashing Mahomes-like upside in Matt Rhule's offense. After big-yardage seasons in college, his numbers keep climbing, and Week 6 vs Michigan State shines a spotlight on his ceiling and NFL potential. The Raiola family legacy at Nebraska adds intrigue for dynasty and DFS managers alike.

Dominic Raiola's Lions career and Nebraska roots frame Dylan's trajectory, highlighting a true family pipeline. With five-star recruitment and prolific throwing, Dylan's progression could push him toward a pro-ready profile if Nebraskan system and line hold up, making him a hot topic for fantasy boards this season.

Indiana launches a fan-first preseason push as Darian DeVries leans into campus and downtown engagement. The Hoosiers host Hoosier Hoops on Kirkwood, a Friday scrimmage, a Marian tune-up, and Haunted Hall of Hoops, all aimed at rebuilding trust and energizing a student-heavy crowd after years of mediocrity.

The drive comes as football’s rising popularity shifts athletic-department priorities. IU emphasizes public events, NIL storytelling, and dorm-community outreach to reconnect with fans and stabilize attendance, hoping a more visible, community-driven approach translates to on-court energy this season.

Pittsburgh Steelers worked out five defensive backs Wednesday as they search for safety depth after Sebastian Castro moved to the Buccaneers. The UDFA group included Kendell Brooks, Jack Henderson, Maxen Hook, Glendon Miller and Mark Perry, each coming with distinct athletic profiles and college pedigrees. No signing was announced, but the workout signals Pittsburgh’s ongoing hunt for versatile depth and special-teams value behind their current safeties.

Brooks (Michigan State) and Henderson (Minnesota), Hook (Toledo), Miller (Maryland) and Perry bring a mix of speed, length and tackling instincts, with 40 times in the 4.44–4.55 range and notable college production. The session follows Castro’s departure to Tampa Bay, underscoring a targeted push to replenish playmaking options at safety without a clear immediate addition.
