Iowa should win comfortably. Then again, OSU shouyld have beaten Nebby comfortably 2 weeks ago. Anything can happen. Iowa 32 - UCLA 17.
Yes and No. Buildup and some of the team stats are similar....YET, one HUGE difference...SULLY is at QB, not Cade and Kirk REALLY wants a Dub in this venue. That is all!
They have a good run defense and they’re playing better the last few games.
Iowa also playing better but our Achilles is the big throw and mobile QB; advantage UCLA
I see this game going either way winner by 3 or 4.
From the LA Times:
UCLA’s offensive surge has largely been fueled by its quarterback.
Over his last two games, Ethan Garbers has completed 77.8% of his passes for 602 yards and 6 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. Those numbers are especially impressive when one considers that he had thrown for four touchdowns and nine interceptions over his previous five games this season.

UCLA's surge has been fueled by playing lesser teams (looking at you, Nebraska).
Why do they fly into LAX rather than Burbank?
It’s a charter. They can go where they want to.
I was there, man was it cold but WHAT A NIGHT! Field rush and literally feared for my life if I went down on the grass!
This one is pretty easy. Iowa will play like wild animals unleashed on Christians in another Coliseum. Iowa 36-17, [Edit] assuming Cade McN is not playing during competitive possessions.
I had to leave on an overnight from LA late Thursday. Wish I was there.
HOWEVER, it's nice anticipating an Iowa game without a dread in the gut about the O.

LAX was a zoo last night. On the rental bus, I got out and walked or was going to miss my flight at 9:30 pm. LAX and Chicago..... crazy numbers.
It would be classic BAU for Iowa to lose to a below average/try hard, late bloomer UCLA team on the road, by throwing out everything we've done the past couple of games simply because we're going across the Rocky Mountains to play an unfamiliar opponent that will sell out to stop the run and play backyard football on offense hoping that Phil's defense once again can't handle their unpredictability in the passing game.
This is one of those rare instances where I'd love for Kirk Ferentz to prove me wrong.........

He has 2 gamers on O. Isn't happening. MSU got Iowa at the right time when Iowa was at the point of breaking. Not happening. Were you raised by Clowns?
They played a difficult schedule and played the good teams tough. I expect a close Hawkeye victory.
Could there be as many, if not more Hawk fans at the game tonight. Should be interesting to see how many Hawk faithful are there? I wish I was. Unfortunately I was at the bowl game there.
