From the “Let’s go Hawks” and “I-O-W-A” chants to the wave at the end of the first quarter, the Rose Bowl crowd seemed somewhat like Kinnick Stadium West at a few points on Friday night.
But on the field, the Hawkeyes experienced a thorny result as they suffered a 20-17 loss to UCLA.

Half: UCLA 17, Iowa 10

UCLA gets a penalty for... having two players on the field with the same number. Can't say I've seen that one before.

Another INT, this one saving points
UCLA had second-and-goal at the Iowa 3, but Nick Jackson pressured Ethan Garbers and the UCLA QB lobbed a pass into the end zone with no UCLA receiver in the vicinity.
Iowa safety Quinn Schulte was there, though, and hauled in the pop fly for an interception.

Hawkeyes start with a takeaway
UCLA's start was looking bad enough with third-and-14, but Iowa's Zach Lutmer made it worse with his first career interception.
That gives Iowa the ball at the UCLA 41.

No surprises with the Hawkeyes' first-teamers in pregame warmups.
Luke Lachey is back.
Deshaun Lee continues to be Iowa's other starting CB.

Kinnick West?
This might end up looking like Kinnick West tonight (if Kinnick had palm trees and mountains in the background).
Appears to be a *lot* more #Hawkeyes fans, and this is UCLA's homecoming game.
