No. 2 Indiana Records 56-6 Victory Over UCLA Extending Home Streak to 14

No. 2 Indiana crushed UCLA 56-6 at Memorial Stadium, extending its school-record home winning streak to 14 and improving to 8-0. The rout was set up immediately when Aiden Fisher intercepted the second snap and returned it for a touchdown, and IU outgained UCLA 475-201 while holding the Bruins to just 201 total yards and one third-down conversion. Quarterback Fernando Mendoza completed 15-of-22 for 168 yards and accounted for three total touchdowns before exiting late in the third quarter, with freshman brother Alberto Mendoza finishing the game amid renewed “Heismendoza” chants. Roman Hemby (81 yards, two TDs), Kaelon Black and E.J. Williams (five catches, 109 yards, two TDs) powered a 262-yard rushing attack that scored on seven of eight drives after an early turnover. The victory was Indiana’s second 50-plus-point win this season — making them the first Power Four team since 2018 to record two 50-point wins in one year — and kept the Hoosiers atop the Big Ten as they head to Maryland next week.
