The Iowa Hawkeyes take a 6-3 record on the road to UCLA Friday night. The Bruins are 3-5 against what Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says has been a difficult schedule.

UCLA is coming off back-to-back road wins at Rutgers and Nebraska.

It’s Iowa first trip to the Rose Bowl for a Big Ten game.

Ferentz says in his first season as head coach DeShaun Foster has UCLA on the right track.
