"They will meet in a temporary lakeside stadium, where the home team is averaging 10,835 fans per game and a vile wind can make throwing the football a fool's errand."
"Can UCLA take a lead? The Bruins have played three games, 12 quarters and 180 minutes of football. They have not held a lead. UCLA has fallen into one hole after another, trailing 20-0 against Utah, 23-0 against Nevada Las Vegas and 14-0 against New Mexico. A big part of the problem has been penalties. The Bruins have committed 30 penalties for 275 yards, tied for No. 117 in the nation in penalty yardage."
UCLA and Northwestern have combined for five losses in six games and face continued struggles entering conference play. One team is missing its opening-day starting running back and the other lost its opening-day head coach. Both sit near the bottom of Big Ten scoring. The matchup will be played in a temporary lakeside stadium with low attendance and strong winds that complicate passing. UCLA fired DeShaun Foster and began the Tim Skipper era, with players at risk of entering the transfer portal after another loss. Penalties have plagued UCLA, contributing large lost-yardage totals.
