The Big Ten Conference has a lot of intriguing games in Week 3, including the Apple Cup and Civil War rivalry games being renewed despite the Pac-12 exodus.
Jeff Hicks of College Sports Wire mandated five Big Ten Conference games as must-watch, and UCLA-Indiana was third on the list.
UCLA may have to travel at one of the highest rates in college football, but they get the honor of welcoming the first Midwest team to the west coast.
The Bruins had a lot to fix during their bye week, including forming a game plan for QB Ethan Garbers. A Jekyll & Hyde home opener may not produce a win against the Hoosiers after the confidence-boosting 77-3 win over Western Illinois Week 2.
The senior is 13 passes away from attempting the second-most in one season despite getting into 15 games over 3-plus seasons. Garbers didn’t start every one of those games, but there is a reason he wasn’t a starter until year four.
The two games ahead of this one is the Oregon-Oregon State Civil War game and then Alabama facing Wisconsin in Madison with Big Noon Kickoff also on hand at Camp Randall Stadium.
