UCLA's forced turnovers have been a lifeline for the 9-0 Bruins

It’s hard to overstate the importance of the turnovers that the UCLA Bruins have forced this season. The team leads the nation with 27 turnovers , no other Power Four team has more than 21 and those turnovers have been crucial to the team’s 9-0 start. Typically, turnovers forced can be a bit streaky, as it often requires a bit of good fortune to force takeaways but the UCLA defense is putting that belief to the test. Defensive coordinator Colin Hitschler has transformed the Bruin defense into a ball-seeking machine and the group hasn’t shown many signs of slowing down. UCLA is averaging three turnovers per game this season but forced only one turnover against Illinois last week when Bruin defensive back Scooter Jackson picked off Drake Lindsey. With UCLA backup quarterback Ty Dieffenbach leading the offense, the extra possessions forced by the Bruin defense has become even more important. Even though UCLA hasn’t played in many close games this year (just one game within single-digits), the turnovers are a major part of why. As UCLA concludes their regular season with three challenging opponents, facing Illinois, Michigan and USC, while it’ll be tough to keep up their three turnover per

Intense speculation adds drama to USC-Indiana football game

College football fans and USC fans noticed something very strange on Wednesday. Heading into USC's game against Indiana , the betting line for Saturday's huge Big Ten contest shifted several points in under an hour. Ryan Kartje of the Los Angeles Times noted this on X. Endless speculation greeted this very peculiar development. Some USC fans speculated that something is up with Jayden Maiava, arguing that's the only reason the line would move four points toward Indiana. Yet, on the injury report released for the game, Maiava did not appear on it. There was nothing on the initial injury report which would suggest that USC is at a significantly worse disadvantage against Indiana. Some people noted that Indiana quarterback Josh Hoover did not appear on the injury report, thinking that might be a reason for the line to jump several points in the Hoosiers' direction. The idea that Josh Hoover could play better with improved health is not totally out of the blue. However, Hoover has consistently underperformed this season, regardless of how healthy he has been. Why would Hoover suddenly play better now? Maybe the fact that Indiana gets a week off before playing USC, combined with Hoover's absence
