What to expect from the Indiana vs. UCLA Big Ten matchup
This game marks the Big Ten debut of the UCLA Bruins, who were one of several teams to migrate over to the conference this year from the PAC-12, alongside the likes of USC, Oregon, and Washington. The Bruins are coming off a solid 8-5 season last year, which they capped off with a win over Boise State in the LA Bowl. So far this year, they're 1-0 after a close win against Hawaii in Week 1, a 16-13 tight squeeze. And the Bruins also have the benefit of coming into the Indiana game with an extra week of rest and prep, having taken off Week 2.

The Hoosiers, meanwhile, feel like they have nowhere to go but up. After a 3-9 finish last season that include several late-in-the-year near-victories against teams like Purdue, Michigan State, and Illinois, Indiana feels like the kind of team that could put on a better show this year. And they're off to a good start, going 2-0 in their first games, including a 77-3 trouncing of Western Illinois last week. Despite being the away team this week, ESPN's analytics crew has them pegged as the slight favorite in this matchup, but don't be surprised if the Bruins are looking to make a statement in their first Big Ten conference game.
