WATCH: Kurtis Rourke's Touchdown Pass To Omar Cooper Jr. Seals Indiana's Win At UCLA

In this story:
If there was any hope of a UCLA comeback, that was put to rest after this touchdown.
With Indiana leading UCLA 28-13 near the midway point of the third quarter, quarterback Kurtis Rourke delivered the dagger. He hit a comeback pass to Omar Cooper Jr. near five-yard line, then the wide receiver broke past the UCLA defense for a touchdown.
That play gave Indiana a 35-13 lead, which shortly after turned into a 42-13 victory for the Hoosiers.
Indiana's offense continues to BUZZ.
