What Time Is San Diego State vs. UCLA and What Channel?
7:15 p.m. ET on Big Ten Network, a late afternoon kickoff in Pasadena at 4:15 p.m. PT.
The SoCal Game
UCLA and San Diego State share a recruiting footprint and a lot of history, and the Aztecs have made these matchups uncomfortable before. UCLA is the Big Ten team with the bigger roster; San Diego State is the Mountain West team with the chip on its shoulder and a fan base that travels the two hours north.
A 12.5-point line is a respectable number for a Mountain West visitor at a Big Ten stadium, which says the books see this closer to a two score game than a rout.
The Bottom Line
7:15 p.m. ET Saturday on Big Ten Network. UCLA should win at home, but the Aztecs are the kind of opponent that keeps it within reach into the fourth quarter.
