NU-UCLA Set for Prime-Time Matchup
The Pac-12 Conference announced on Thursday that Nebraska's Sept. 8 game at UCLA will be televised in prime time. The matchup from the Rose Bowl will kick off at 4:30 p.m. PT (6:30 p.m. CT) and will be shown nationally on FOX.
The meeting will be the first between Nebraska and UCLA since 1994, and the 11th overall meeting between the schools. Nebraska holds a 6-4 advantage in the series between the schools, including wins in six of the past seven meetings. Nebraska was victorious in its last trip to face UCLA at the Rose Bowl, winning 14-13 in 1993.
The addition of the prime-time national telecast on FOX gives Nebraska four scheduled prime-time telecasts for the 2012 season. Nebraska's home game against Wisconsin on Sept. 29 will be televised by ABC, while its Oct. 6 game at Ohio State and Oct. 27 home game with Michigan will be carried on either ABC, ESPN or ESPN2. Each of those three games will kick off at 7 p.m. CT.
