Who’s Playing
Bowling Green @ UCLA
Last Season Records: UCLA 8-4; Bowling Green 4-8
What to Know
The UCLA Bruins and the Bowling Green Falcons will face off at 2:30 p.m. ET Sept. 3 at Rose Bowl to kick off their 2022 seasons. While UCLA was not exactly top dog last season, they did wrap up the year with a winning record of 8-4. Meanwhile, last year was nothing to brag about for Bowling Green (4-8), so the team is looking forward to a new start.
A couple last-season stats to keep an eye on: The Bruins were 16th best in the nation (top 6%) in rushing touchdowns, finishing the 2021 season with 31. Less enviably, the Falcons ranked 19th worst in the nation with respect to rushing touchdowns allowed last year, where the squad gave up 30 (bottom 93%). We’ll see if their defense can keep UCLA’s running backs out of the end zone.
UCLA has the odds in their favor, so they’ll need to guard against complacency. These early season matchups can go either way as both teams get back into playing shape.
