The Iowa football team heads to the west coast during the regular season for the first time since 2010 when it visits the Rose Bowl for a Friday night matchup against UCLA. The Hawkeyes last played the Bruins in 1986, falling, 45-28. UCLA holds the lead in the all-time series, 7-2. In its inaugural season as a Big Ten team, UCLA struggled early but has found its footing as of late, winning back-to-back games, both as road underdogs. Quarterback Ethan Garbers threw for a combined six touchdowns during those contests – more than half of his season total, which includes nine interceptions.
