The 2024 college football season is almost here, which means it is time to get ready to root for your UCLA Bruins as they embark on a new journey as members of the new 18-team Big Ten Conference.
Deshaun Foster kicks off his head coaching career out west in Hawaii on Aug. 31. That isn’t a bad way to start your season with a trip to the Aloha State. After an early off week, they return home to host the Indiana Hoosiers in UCLA’s Big Ten debut before traveling to Baton Rouge to face the LSU Tigers. There likely won’t be any “sissy blue shirt” references this time around.
Following the Tigers matchup, the Bruins must face the Oregon Ducks and Penn State Nittany Lions in back-to-back weeks. The schedule won’t be any easier in November when UCLA faces the Iowa Hawkeyes, Washington Huskies, and USC Trojans in consecutive weeks before closing out the season against Fresno State.
