Live Updates: UCLA Takes The Big Stage Against No. 2 Indiana

In this story:
The UCLA Bruins (3-4, 3-1 Big Ten) are taking the main stage of FOX's Big Noon Kickoff against the No. 2-ranked Indiana Hoosiers in hopes of extending their improbable midseason turnaround.
Not only do the Hoosiers have one of the best offenses in college football, led by Curt Cignetti and Heisman hopeful quarterback Fernando Mendoza, but they also have one of the best defenses. Tim Skipper and Jerry Neuheisel are going to have their hands full against this juggernaut, and the offense is going to have to step up.
