While the Bruins would like to keep going after beating Rutgers for their first Big Ten victory, the bye week allows them an opportunity to get healthy and better.
UCLA quarterback Ethan Garbers gets a block from Leo Kemp during a run in the first half of a 35-32 Big Ten victory over Rutgers on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2024, at SHI Stadium in Piscataway, New Jersey.
According to Foster, the errors at the end of the game came down to his three pillars: discipline, respect and enthusiasm. It also allows for key players who have missed time, like receiver Rico Flores Jr. and offensive tackle Rueben Unije, a chance to get healthy. Ultimately, the chance to get healthy and work on fixing mistakes are benefits the team needs at this point in the season.
“We would love to get back out there and go play some games, but it’s also good to get the bodies back but also be able to fine-tune some,” Matavao said. “It wasn’t a perfect game, but there’s always stuff we can work on. We got away with the win, so now we can come out here, make some corrections and prepare for the next week.”After Ethan Garbers’ historic game Saturday, the senior quarterback was selected as the Big Ten Conference Offensive Player of the Week.
