3 generations of Hawkeye fans gather for Iowa game

For some fans, a road game at UCLA was a perfect opportunity for a fun vacation.

Iowa and UCLA are meeting for their 10th matchup, but the first time in nearly 40 years. UCLA is in its first year in the Big Ten.

The Bruins own a 6-3 lead in the series.

The most recent matchup came in 1986 when UCLA beat Chuck Long and the Hawkeyes 45-28 in the Rose Bowl after the 1985 season. Hawkeye running back Ronnie Harmon infamously fumbled four times in the first half.

UCLA has actually won seven of the nine games in the series, but the Bruins had to forfeit a 34-16 win in 1977.

Record: 3-5 overall, 2-4 in Big Ten play

Coach: DeShaun Foster (first year)

The Bruins went through a major rough patch earlier this season, but they seem to have turned a corner.

After a narrow season-opening win at Hawaii, UCLA dropped five games in a row. That cold streak ended Oct. 19 with a win at Rutgers, and the Bruins built upon that win with another road victory at Nebraska last weekend.

The Bruins have struggled offensively most of the season and currently rank No. 126 out of 134 teams in FBS in points per game at 18.6. They failed to reach 20-plus points in any of their first six games but have since scored 35 and 27 in the last two weeks.
