How to Watch, Listen and Stream - UCLA Bruins at Northwestern Wildcats: Game Time, TV Schedule, Radio, Odds and More
UCLA will visit Northwestern tomorrow for the first time since 1969.
Tomorrow afternoon, UCLA will visit the Northwestern Wildcats the first time as members of the Big Ten. Tomorrow’s game is the first time the Bruins have played the Wildcats since the 2005 Sun Bowl and the first regular season meeting between the schools since 1970. The last time UCLA visited Northwestern was 1969.
At this point, the Bruins are once again a team with nothing but question marks. That’s because, rather prophetically, in this space two weeks ago I wrote “Heck, let’s be honest. If UCLA can’t win tonight, they very well could have an interim head coach by next week.”
They didn’t win, and now, they have an interim coach.
And, we’re back to nothing but questions. How will this team respond to a change in leadership? Can they find a way to win their first game of the year? Will this season continue to be winless, and if so, will they go winless for the first time since 1924?
As far as expectations go, I don’t think any of us have any expectations left.
And, why?
Because Martin Jarmond wouldn’t fire Chip Kelly or Gene Block wouldn’t let him do it. What could have been a simple solution ended up costing UCLA a lot more money because Jarmond gave Foster a five-year contract instead of naming him as the interim coach for last season and making him prove he could get the job done last year.
Odds
It looks like Vegas has finally gotten wise to the Bruins. UCLA is a 6.5 points underdog in tomorrow’s game. Much like the actual score of their first three games, UCLA has lost all three games against the spread this season. While Tim Skipper may bring a renewed sense of energy we didn’t see from DeShaun Foster, there’s nothing to suggest the Bruins will cover the spread here. Give the points and take the ‘Cats.
The Over/Under is 45.5 points. The New Mexico game saw 45 total points scored , falling short of the 53.5 number. I think this week’s game has the potential to finish regulation tied 0-0. I’m taking the under again this week.
Last week, I took New Mexico and the points. As we painfully saw, the Bruins had no business being favored in that one. So, I’m now 2-1 for the season. Last week, I took the under, which means that I’m now 2-1 for the season on the Over/Under.
Tailgating and Game Time Weather Forecast
All things considered, it should be a Chamber of Commerce day in Evanston for tailgating tomorrow if you’re actually heading out to the game. The parking lots open at 10:30 am CT for tomorrow’s game. When the lots open, look for it to be a mild 72°. It should continue to warm up to a high temperature of 79° for kickoff at 2:30 pm CT.
By the fourth quarter, the temperature will drop off slightly, but still be in the upper 70s.
