Friday.<\/p>\n<p>(Ryan Sun \/ Associated Press)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<p>Already one of the most penalized teams in the nation, UCLA exceeded its season averages for  penalties (eight) and penalty yardage (70.1 yards per game), finishing with nine penalties for  84 yards.<\/p>\n<p>UCLA\u2019s defense and ground game, however, helped mask a series of errors throughout the game.<\/p>\n<p>Iowa entered the game with the Big Ten\u2019s top rushing offense, while UCLA ranked last in the conference. But the roles reversed Friday night, as UCLA thrived by feeding its running-back trio of Harden, Jalen Berger and Keegan Jones.<\/p>\n<p>While all eyes were on Iowa\u2019s Kaleb Johnson, the nation\u2019s second-leading rusher and a midseason All-American, UCLA\u2019s answer came from its backfield.<\/p>\n<p>The trio stole the show, with Harden rushing for 125 yards in 20 carries, Jones contributing 38 yards and Berger adding 30. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew I had to have a game like this,\u201d Harden said.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, UCLA ran the ball more effectively than Iowa, finishing with 211  rushing yards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been getting better each week,\u201d Foster said of the run game. \u201cWe were fired up for the challenge, going against the No. 2 rusher in the country. They took pride in wanting to out-rush them, and we did that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Bruins\u2019 defense, ranked No. 11 in the nation, shut down Johnson. UCLA limited him to 49 yards in  18 attempts \u2014 well below his 142.1-yard average. Johnson scored on a  two-yard run in the first quarter, giving him the Iowa record for touchdowns in a season. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s a shoutout to the whole defense and the coaching staff that put together a great game plan,\u201d UCLA linebacker Carson Schwesinger said. \u201cWe went into this week knowing it was a challenge, and we were ready for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>UCLA\u2019s defense kept pressure on Iowa  throughout the game, with Schwesinger grabbing two interceptions \u2014 the first of his career \u2014 and Kain Medrano ripping the ball away to force another turnover.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just need to make sure when we\u2019re going out there, we\u2019re staying disciplined and staying on track,\u201d Schwesinger said. \u201cWe needed to make sure that we didn\u2019t get out of hand and stuck with what we knew and continued to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At halftime, UCLA held a seven-point lead despite three turnovers and numerous penalties. <\/p>\n<div class=\"enhancement\" data-click=\"enhancement\" data-align-center=\"\">\n<div class=\"video-enhancement\" data-video-disable-history=\"\">\n<div class=\"video-enhancement-player\">  <ps-youtubeplayer data-video-player=\"\" class=\"youtube-video-player video-player youtube-video-player-facade\" data-player-id=\"fcbfcc9a9ff5f4eb1b92584d3fa10a850\" data-video-id=\"k6HT2tjN6dI\" data-video-title=\"Iowa-UCLA Post Game Player Interviews - Ethan Garbers and Carson Schwesinger - Nov. 8, 2024.\" data-slot-name=\"\/21787098806\/web.latimes\/sports\/ucla\/video\" data-lazy-offset=\"1.0\" data-autoplay-threshold=\"50\" data-miniplayer=\"\" data-internal-video-id=\"k6HT2tjN6dI\" data-ad-slot-name=\"\/21787098806\/web.latimes\/sports\/ucla\/video\" data-ad-provider=\"ima\" data-ima-sdk-url=\"https:\/\/imasdk.googleapis.com\/js\/sdkloader\/ima3.js\" data-ima-ad-tag-url=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ads?sz=640x480&amp;gdfp_req=1&amp;env=vp&amp;output=vast&amp;unviewed_position_start=1&amp;cmsid=2652439&amp;ad_rule=0&amp;plcmt=1\">  <picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi_webp\/k6HT2tjN6dI\/maxresdefault.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/k6HT2tjN6dI\/maxresdefault.jpg\"\/><img id=\"yt-img-k6HT2tjN6dI\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/k6HT2tjN6dI\/hqdefault.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/> <\/picture> <button type=\"button\" class=\"youtube-video-player-facade-button\" aria-label=\"Play\"> <svg class=\"icon\"><use xlink:href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/styleguide\/assets\/misc-icons.svg#icon-youtube-play\"\/><\/svg> <\/button>      <\/ps-youtubeplayer> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Ethan Garbers threw two interceptions to start the game \u2014 one on  third down while scrambling from the Hawkeyes\u2019 pass rush and the other with defenders  in his face near the goal line.<\/p>\n<p>Later, he fumbled in the red zone. <\/p>\n<p>Trailing 10-0, UCLA turned things around in the second quarter, outscoring Iowa 17-0.<\/p>\n<p>Bhaghani  hit a 57-yard field goal \u2014 the second longest in school history \u2014 to get the Bruins on the board.
