Nebraska-UCLA Game Set; Huskers QB Raiola Out

The Big Ten announced Nebraska will play UCLA at the Rose Bowl on Saturday, Nov. 8, with an 8 p.m. CT kickoff nationally televised on FOX. Nebraska (6–3, 3–3 Big Ten) is coming off a 21–17 loss to USC and will be without sophomore QB Dylan Raiola for the season, with true freshman TJ Lateef expected to start. UCLA (3–5) has rebounded after an early-season coaching change that made Tim Skipper the interim coach but suffered a 56–6 loss at Indiana in which QB Iamaleava struggled. The matchup favors UCLA in the red zone (6th nationally) against Nebraska’s weak red-zone defense (128th); turnover and penalty differentials (UCLA −2 turnover margin, Nebraska +3) are additional edges to watch. The nighttime setting is Nebraska’s first return to the Rose Bowl since the 2001 title game and gives the Huskers a high-profile chance to pursue a seventh regular-season win for the first time since 2016.
