#120 ASA PLAY ON UCLA +6 over Iowa, Friday at 9 PM ET - This is a letdown spot for the Hawkeyes traveling to the west coast for the first time this season after rolling up a big win over archrival Wisconsin. The Hawkeyes have been great at home but on the road they are just 1-2 in Big 10 play. They are traveling on a short week to face a UCLA team that is trending upward right now. The Bruins are off back to back wins, both on the road, beating Rutgers and Nebraska. Last week’s 27-20 win over the Huskers was actually closer than it should have been. UCLA outgained Nebraska by 2.0 YPP and had more overall yardage despite running 17 fewer offensive snaps. Even prior to those back to back wins, this team was playing well losing a tight game vs Minnesota 21-17, a game UCLA led pretty much throughout and they played Penn State tough on the road before that losing 27-11. They’ve outgained each of their last 3 opponents and the Bruins simply to be undervalued with a 5-0-1 ATS record their last 6 games and now getting nearly a full TD at home in this one. Iowa switched QB’s last week going with back up Sullivan and he will get another start here. He didn’t have to do much attempting only 10 passes the entire game as Iowa was able to get whatever they wanted on the ground vs the Badgers. Now they are facing a UCLA defense that is very good vs the run ranking 12th nationally allowing 100 YPG rushing on just 3.3 YPC. Iowa will have to have some success through the air here and we’re not sure they can get it done in that regard (they rank dead last in Big 10 play averaging only 112 YPG through the air). Iowa’s offensive numbers drop off drastically on the road where they average just 19 PPG (35 PPG at home) and only 281 YPG (374 YPG at home). Upset alert here as UCLA will give the Hawkeyes all they can handle on Friday Night.
