The Iowa Hawkeyes are back in action tonight with a road tilt at the UCLA Bruins.
Iowa (6-3, 4-2 Big Ten) enters having won three of its past four. The Hawkeyes have scored 40-plus in each of those three wins, including a 42-10 beat down of Wisconsin last week.
Junior running back Kaleb Johnson rushed for 135 yards and three touchdowns on 24 carries to lead the way for the black and gold.
Meanwhile, UCLA (3-5, 2-4 Big Ten) is suddenly playing its best football of the season.
The Bruins have won back-to-back games for the first time in 2024. UCLA topped Rutgers, 35-32, on Oct. 19 and then beat Nebraska, 27-20, last week.
UCLA senior quarterback Ethan Garbers passed for 383 yards and four touchdowns against Rutgers before throwing for two more scores and 219 yards against the Huskers. Garbers was interception free in each of those two Bruin wins.
