The Nebraska Cornhuskers face the UCLA Bruins this weekend in Lincoln. However, this is the first time these teams have met in nearly a decade, and it marks the first-ever Big Ten clash between the two.
So, Nebraska and UCLA are not as familiar with one another. However, Nebraska defensive back Ceyair Wright, who was at USC previously, does have experience going up against the Bruins.
Ahead of the game, Wright spoke about facing UCLA, per Evan Bredeson from Cornhuskers Wire.
“They are a fundamentally sound team. They have a good quarterback and receivers. The running backs should be a great test for us. I’m excited to compete against them. I’ve grown up playing against a lot of the team. It’s a good test for our team.”
Wright knows UCLA from his Trojans days, so perhaps he can offer some insight. On the other hand, the program looks much different with DeShaun Foster as head coach.
All in all, UCLA looks to win another game after defeating Rutgers prior to the bye.
