No. 2 Indiana Dominates UCLA 56-6 To Extend Unbeaten Streak

Indiana's football team, ranked No. 2, decisively defeated UCLA 56-6, extending their perfect season to 8-0 and Big Ten record to 5-0. Quarterback Fernando Mendoza was instrumental, throwing for three touchdowns and running for another, while also completing 15 of 22 passes for 168 yards. The Hoosiers dominated early, with Aiden Fisher intercepting the second play and returning it for a touchdown, setting the tone for the game. Indiana's defense pressured UCLA's quarterback Nico Iamaleava throughout, resulting in multiple turnovers and limited UCLA's offense to just 201 total yards. Indiana's running game was effective, gaining 262 yards on the ground, supported by a strong offensive line. The win solidifies Indiana's position as a top contender in the Big Ten, while UCLA's recent momentum was halted, suffering their worst loss after a three-game winning streak under interim coaching.
