The Bruins, 0-3 in their new conference, remain optimistic going into Saturday’s game at the Rose Bowl against the Golden Gophers, who upset USC last week
Each of UCLA football’s last four opponents has entered the Associated Press Top 25 rankings. That softens the blow of the fact that the Bruins are still searching for their second win of the season and first win in the Big Ten Conference.
The Golden Gophers, who come into the game in 12th place in the Big Ten, are the lowest-ranked conference team the Bruins have seen this season. They can’t be overlooked, however, after last week’sin Saturday’s game, which brings together UCLA and Minnesota for the first time since 1978. Eric Bienemy’s offense, which has been described as complicated by players, seems to be coming into focus.
‘We pride ourselves on who we are,” UCLA defensive back Ramon Henderson said. “I don’t think we’ve been having the endings or outcomes that we want, but we’re still gonna fight until we fall, until the whistle, until we’re done with. It could be four quarters, 12 rounds in a fight. You got to go until you can’t go no more.”The Golden Gophers’ offense averages 216.3 passing yards per game. Quarterback Max Brosmer has completed 67.6% of his passes this season for 1,263 yards and six touchdowns.
Whoever starts at quarterback will be tested against a Golden Gophers defense that is the best in the nation against the pass. Minnesota gives up just 114.0 passing yards per game. It held USC quarterback Miller Moss to a season-low 200 yards on 23-of-38 passing with one touchdown and two interceptions.Linebacker Cody Lindenberg leads Minnesota with 42 tackles and defensive lineman Jah Joyner has logged 3.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and six QB hurries.
