UCLA’s win over Rutgers boosts chances vs. Nebraska

The chances are getting better.

The UCLA Bruins finally won their first-ever Big Ten Conference game by defeating Rutgers on the road. Then, UCLA had a bye week to rest and try to get things back in order.

In the first week of November, UCLA faces Nebraska on the road in Lincoln. The matchup is a difficult one with Dylan Raiola as the quarterback for the Cornhuskers.

Before the Rutgers game, ESPN gave UCLA just a 24% chance to defeat Nebraska.

However, that number has now increased to 32.1% after they knocked off the Scarlet Knights, as Mike Regalado points out.

Nebraska is coming off a close 21-17 loss to Ohio State and then a blowout loss on the road to Indiana, so they have dropped to 5-1 after a strong 5-1 start.

Kickoff is on Saturday, November 2, at 12:30 PM PST as UCLA tries to get the second Big Ten win of the season.
