Kickoff Time Set for UCLA’s Showdown vs. No. 1 Ohio State

The Bruins will yet again be competing in front of a sizeable national audience. If Tim Skipper and UCLA can tack on another win against the Dylan Raiola-less Cornhuskers, next Saturday's matchup becomes much more interesting as the Bruins are two losses away from losing bowl eligibility.

Tim Skipper's Prep for Ohio State

UCLA's loss to Indiana was not only a punch in the face, but a reminder of where the Bruins truly stand in the Big Ten. However, it served as a lesson for Skipper, who took over as interim head coach and has a 3-2 record at the helm this season.

During he weekly media availability the Monday after the Indiana thrashing, Skipper shared what he thought went wrong and how he can use the experience against the Buckeyes.

• "The thing you take from it is, you know how the top teams in this country, in this conference play, and you know how you need to play," Skipper said.

• "So we need to figure out that we need to practice hard and we need to play hard and our style of pay needs to be consistent all the time.

• "And that would be the most disappointing thing, is just our styler of play wasn't what it's been. You didn't see the strain. You didn't see the fanatical effort. Those type of things. And you're going to need to play that way when you play these top teams like we just did."
