Live Blog: FINAL— Indiana Football 56, UCLA 6
Indiana Football hosts UCLA this Saturday as they look to improve to 8-0 on the season.
The Hoosiers are coming off a Homecoming win over Michigan State last weekend.
UCLA is 3-4 but has won their last three games against Penn State, Michigan State, and Maryland. Interim head coach Tim Skipper is 3-1 since taking over for DeShaun Foster and has rejuvenated the program.
The Bruins, who started 0-3, could make the Big Ten race very interesting if they are able to knock off the Hoosiers in Bloomington.
