3 takeaways from the Bruins' win over Nebraska

In the Bruins' first six games, Garbers had thrown nine interceptions, which still ranks second in the Big Ten. It's clear that his consecutive turnover-free outings were a major factor in UCLA's last two victories.

Not only does it help the Bruins win, but it also allows Garbers to get into a rhythm. For the second straight game, he threw for over 200 yards and completed multiple touchdown passes.

And ball protection was especially important given the nature of these two victories — both were achieved on just a single possession.

The Bruins have finally found their running game

Establishing the running game should be crucial for this competitionand that was the case.

For the first time this season, the Bruins reached 100 rushing yards and even outscored the Huskers in that area of ​​the game with 139 compared to Nebraska's 113.

Before Saturday, Nebraska had ranked fifth in the country in run defense, while UCLA ranked last in the Big Ten in run offense. The ground effort was led by none other than Garbers, who finished the game with 56 yards to his feet. Bruins running back TJ Harden finished second on the team in that category with 46 on 11 runs.

UCLA won despite its numerous penalties

The Bruins were penalized nine times in the contest, for a total loss of 62 yards. Meanwhile, Nebraska finished with just two penalties.

UCLA leads the conference in total penalties (64), total penalty yards (561), penalties per game (8.0) and penalty yards per game (70.1).

Looking at this with a negative attitude, it becomes clear that the self-inflicted wounds need to be treated. On the bright side, the Bruins did a lot of good to win as the margin of victory could have been larger.
