"On UCLA's first offensive play, quarterback Nico Iamaleva found himself swarmed by a pack of defenders for a sack. On the next play, Iamaleava faced pressure again before throwing a pass that was intercepted and returned for a touchdown. It never got much better for the Bruins on a chilly, cloudy Saturday afternoon that was darker than the foreboding weather."
"The Bruins looked a lot more like the team that had started the season with four consecutive losses than the one that had rebounded with three straight wins. There was little upset drama for the 27.5-point underdogs after Iamaleava's early interception gave the Hoosiers the lead 57 seconds into the game. The outcome seemed inevitable after Indiana went ahead 21-0 early in the second quarter."
"Highlights for the Bruins (3-5 overall, 3-2 Big Ten) included Will Karoll's 63-yard punt and interceptions by Scooter Jackson and Key Lawrence. That was pretty much it. Jackson's interception, which came after he corralled a pass that teammate Keanu Williams had tipped, gave UCLA its only meaningful momentum of the game, the Bruins taking over at their own 44-yard line while down by a touchdown in the first quarter."
UCLA was routed 56-6 by No. 2 Indiana, with an early interception returned for a touchdown and consistent pressure collapsing the offense. The Bruins struggled with missed tackles, repeated penalties, and an offensive line repeatedly pushed around, leaving the run game ineffective. UCLA resembled the early-season losing team rather than the recent winners, falling behind 21-0 early in the second quarter. Limited highlights included a 63-yard punt and interceptions by Scooter Jackson and Key Lawrence, with Jackson's takeaway briefly sparking momentum. A failed fake punt reverse and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty compounded the Bruins' difficulties in a one-sided contest.
