Running back TJ Harden scored the only touchdown of the game for the Bruins,
The UCLA football team lost in its Big Ten Conference debut to Indiana, 42-13 on Saturday night at the Rose Bowl.
The Bruins could not recover from a lackluster first half in which the Hoosiers raced to a 21-0 lead.
Indiana quarterback Kurtis Rourke completed 25 of 33 passes for 307 yards and four touchdowns and the Hoosiers (3-0) rushed for a collective 123 yards.
UCLA quarterback Ethan Garbers was 14-for-23 passing with no touchdowns and one interception.
Garbers narrowly avoided a sack and scrambled for 20 yards and a first down to help UCLA end the first half on a high note. TJ Harden punched the ball in from 1 yard out for the first and only Bruins touchdown of the night.
The energy continued on the other side of halftime. Garbers recovered his own fumble while rushing on a quarterback keeper but was set back 5 yards in the process.
