00:00Now let's get to the Big Ten opener for UCLA. Kev, the first ever game as a Big

00:08Ten team for the Bruins against a fellow Big Ten foe in the first road trip out

00:14to Pasadena for Indiana since the actual Rose Bowl in 1968 when they took on the

00:21Trojans. Now this line working even more in favor of IU above what could be a

00:26key number, Kev, of three. Who covers? Who wins this football game? It's Bruins or

00:30Bust for me. Listen, I know people are excited about Cignetti with the Hoosiers,

00:34but this is a must win for UCLA. I don't really love how they built their

00:38schedule for me. I think it's gonna be really tricky this year for the West

00:41Coast teams with a lot of travel that they got going on, but I think they need

00:44to take advantage when they're at home. This team's not only at home, they're off

00:48a bye. I think you get one of UCLA's best performances this season catching

00:52three and a half at home. Indiana's going to California. I mean, that is

00:55completely brand new to this team. I like UCLA here. I lean to UCLA, but I like the

01:00over 46 and a half. I think you're getting a discount. I like Garbers. I

01:04like Curtis Rourke, and even though Indiana's defense is rock-solid, only

01:08giving up five points per game and 32 yards on the ground to opposing

01:12offenses along with 10 sacks, I think the speed of UCLA can exploit them. I do

01:17lean to UCLA because of how they made second half adjustments against Schrager

01:22and that Hawaii attack. That's why I give them the edge at home.

01:25Scoreless in the opening half against the Rainbow Warriors out in Honolulu week

01:29number one. A bye week last week for UCLA, but only 71 rushing yards for this team

01:34against Hawaii, which is a little bit peculiar because Deshaun Foster, the

01:40running backs coach, the head coach, and TJ Harden remained. He was not great

01:44against the Bows. I like Indiana under that three. I bet it earlier this week at

01:49two and a half. Now north of three, I think this game is close, but last week

01:54against Western Illinois, albeit an FCS school that has now lost 26 consecutive

01:59football games, Indiana put up the most points we have seen all season long so

02:02far with 77. A touchdown on their first six offensive possessions in the game,

02:08and then they forced Western Illinois to punt the football on their opening five

02:15drives, three and out in all of those.

02:19Yeah.
