UCLA coach DeShaun Foster advised his team to fully experience and reflect on their recent painful 42-13 loss to Indiana, their worst home opener defeat since 2010. “Keep that feeling and channel it into practice this week,” Foster said, encouraging the Bruins to use their discomfort as motivation. On Monday, practice was subdued, with players and coaches visibly affected by the defeat. However, running back T.J. Harden noted that the mood improved as the team recognized the need to move forward, focusing on their upcoming game against No. 16 LSU. Despite emotional moments in the locker room, defensive lineman Jay Toia and others stepped up to motivate their teammates for the next challenge.
