Miles Cross Looks to Build on Breakout UCLA Performance

Miles Cross has arrived. After recording only one catch over the first two games (albeit an impressive 30-yard one-handed catch), it seemed as though the Ohio transfer was taking a backseat to guys like Elijah Sarratt and Omar Cooper Jr.

Indiana's Defense Played with a 'Nastiness' in Their First Big Ten Victory

Written By Nick Gonzales (@nrgonzales_)

Indiana had its first Big Ten matchup against UCLA Saturday night and boy did they not disappoint. Throughout the week, Coach Cignetti harped on the fact that their trip to Pasadena would strictly be a business trip, and they treated it just like that. The Hoosiers marched into the Rose Bowl stadium to take care of business and walked out with a 42-13 victory.

Matchup to Watch Week Three: Indiana’s Defensive Line vs. UCLA’s Offensive Line


Written by: TJ Inman 

The 2-0 Indiana Hoosiers travel to Pasadena for a monumental clash with the UCLA Bruins in the Rose Bowl (the stadium, not the game). Indiana has been fantastic in the first two contests of the Curt Cignetti era as the Hoosiers hammered Florida International and then had a record-setting performance against Western Illinois. Saturday night on NBC will be the first of several “toss-up” games this season for the Hoosiers and it is being viewed as a chance to show just how ready this IU program is to compete for a bowl game. Their opponent is a real mystery as the UCLA Bruins have a first-year head coach and new coordinators and they have only played one game after a bye last Saturday. UCLA survived a scare from Hawaii with a pair of fourth-quarter field goals propelling them to a 16-13 victory over the Rainbow Warriors.

Elijah Sarratt has really stood out in the Hoosier’s offense this season, especially last week against Western Illinois where he logged 6 receptions, 137 yards and a touchdown (off of a 71-yard play). The Hoosiers are facing their first Big Ten opponent of the season and for Sarratt, it’ll be his first Big Ten game ever and he appreciates the opportunity to play in this historic venue.

Numbers that Matter: Indiana Hoosiers at UCLA Bruins

Written by: Nate Comp (@NathanComp1)

We now have two weeks’ worth of data to analyze and after Indiana’s dominant 77-3 victory over Western Illinois last Friday, the Hoosiers are on the rise. Of course, strength of opponent is something to consider when analyzing these stats, but there have been plenty of overmatched opponents in the past that Indiana has not easily taken care of business with so there is certainly reason to be excited about what we have seen so far. Let’s take a look at some of the stats that could come into play in Indiana’s biggest test so far upcoming this week, on the road in the Rose Bowl against UCLA.
