Indiana football is set to take on UCLA on Big Ten Saturday Night this weekend.
It’s the Hoosiers’ first power five opponent of the Curt Cignetti era and comes after convincing (to put it mildly in the latter case) victories over FIU and Western Illinois. Indiana needs to prove it can keep its momentum against tougher competition.
UCLA is an interesting one in that the Bruins also have a new head coach, though under different circumstances. Chip Kelly took the offensive coordinator job at Ohio State, leaving UCLA to promote running backs coach DeShaun Foster to the head coaching gig.
