The UCLA Bruins are riding high (somewhat) after finally getting the first Big Ten Conference win. It came against Rutgers, and UCLA then had a much-needed bye to get some rest.
Now, they face Nebraska in Lincoln, and the Cornhuskers are an interesting team.
Thomas Codo of Cornhuskers Wire ranked Nebraaska’s four remaining opponents and had UCLA ranked as third. However, he examines why UCLA can be a tough test for Nebraska.
Nebraska’s defensive struggles allow the Bruins to deliver another big outing. But UCLA’s defense remains in shambles as it’s allowed 29 points per game. With three straight lackluster performances by Nebraska’s offense, the Bruins pose a much-needed opportunity for the Huskers to get back on track.
Whether this game turns into a shootout or a defensive battle remains to be seen, but either way, UCLA isn’t one to be taken lightly for Nebraska.
