How To Watch UCLA vs. MSU: Announcers, TV, Radio

The Bruins will look to continue their win streak Saturday against a Michigan State team that has yet to truly find any rhythm.

UCLA heads into the matchup with a ton of momentum, which is impressive considering they’ve made a quarterback change at the halfway point. While most teams would look rocky following such a switch, the Bruins look as confident as ever, and this was highlighted by a win last week against a tough Wisconsin defense.

UCLA and Michigan State's history isn't very storied, but it is close to even. The two teams have met seven times in their respective histories, with UCLA holding the winning record of 4-3 over the Spartans.

The first time the two teams met was way back in 1953, when Michigan State took down UCLA 28-20. Since then, the two teams have obviously not met very often, but the last meeting came last season, with UCLA winning 38-13. Before that, they hadn't seen each other since 1974. UCLA heads into the contest with a four-game win streak on Michigan State, another streak that the Spartans would like to put an end to.

UCLA will attempt to keep its perfect season intact as they defend home territory on Saturday. Meanwhile, Michigan State will limp into the Rose Bowl, where they'll look to play spoiler and steal a win on the road in front of a hopefully rowdy UCLA home crowd.
