UCLA uses potent defense and explosive run game to beat Iowa, extend its win streak

UCLA’s quest to scratch and claw its way to a bowl berth after a slow start to the season continues.

In front of a Rose Bowl crowd split 60-40 between UCLA blue and Iowa black during homecoming, the Bruins left the Hawkeyes black and blue thanks to a potent run game and strong defensive effort.

UCLA (4-5 overall, 3-4 Big Ten) extended its three-game win streak against Big Ten opponents, defeating Iowa 20-17 in Pasadena.

With 4:59 left in the game, 27-yard field goal from Mateen Bhaghani gave the Bruins a lead they did not surrender.
