PASADENA, Calif. – For the first time since 1968, Indiana football will play at the Rose Bowl.
But instead of facing USC and O.J. Simpson, the Hoosiers play UCLA and first-year head coach DeShaun Foster. The Bruins won 16-13 at Hawaii in Week 1 and had a bye week to prepare for their first Big Ten game.
Indiana coach Curt Cignetti is also in his first season, and he’s off to a 2-0 start with a 31-7 win over Florida International and a 77-3 win over Western Illinois, a game in which the Hoosiers set program records for points scored and total yards. While the setting for Saturday’s matchup is one of college football’s most iconic venues, Cignetti said it’s his job to eliminate the noise and clutter around the game.
“Rose Bowl has a lot of tradition for people that follow football,” Cignetti said Monday. “For me and the team, it’s more of a business trip. Whether we’re playing in the Rose Bowl or in a parking lot, it’s all the same.”
