Key points to watch in UCLA’s Big Ten debut against Indiana

UCLA’s defense put on an impressive performance as they held Hawaii’s offense to just three points in the second half of their recent game. This defensive effort sparked a comeback for the Bruins, raising questions about their capabilities going forward. The team will face Indiana next, a team that has been dominant on offense, scoring 108 points in two games, with a record-breaking performance against Western Illinois. Indiana’s offense is led by experienced players, including a sixth-year quarterback and a seventh-year running back. The team is incredibly balanced, averaging over 270 yards both rushing and passing per game. The Bruins understand the challenge they will face in stopping Indiana’s offense and have identified the need to stop the run game to have a chance at slowing down their passing attack. UCLA’s edge rusher, Jacob Busic, emphasized the importance of containing Indiana’s rushing game to be able to put pressure on the quarterback. The upcoming matchup against Indiana will be a true test of UCLA’s defense and their ability to adapt to a potent offensive attack.
