The Sporting News: UCLA 27, Wisconsin 20
Bill Bender writes: "UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava is out for the season. The
Badgers rank fourth in the Big Ten in total defense (267.2 ypg.), so this will be a challenge for Bruins running back Wayne Knight, who has three straight 100-yard games in Big Ten play. Colton Joseph keeps the Badgers in a four-quarter game, but it's hard to pick against UCLA right now."

Bill Speros writes: "The Big Ten Rivalry we didn't know we wanted, but now can't live without. The Badgers and Bruins are combined 9-1 SU and 3-0 in the Big Ten. UCLA dominates against the number, covering in all five games, including an outright 17-15 win at Oregon Saturday as 10.5-point underdogs. But starting QB Nico Iamaleava left the game with multiple injuries and did not return. He's out for the year. This number suggests that the Bruins will go with QB Ty Dieffenbach this week. Still, UCLA wins with defense and the run game. The Badgers keep it close, but not close enough."
