LOS ANGELES — Purdue football heads to the Rose Bowl to open the 2026 Big Ten season against UCLA.
The Boilermakers (1-1) have several losing streaks to snap: 18 games against Big Ten opponents and 21 games against Power Four conference opponents. They came oh so close in a double overtime loss to Wake Forest last week, losing 38-36 after allowing a conversion on fourth-and-15 while leading in the second stanza.
The 11 p.m. ET kickoff Saturday features two talented quarterbacks. Ryan Browne (77.5% completions, 646 yards, 4 touchdowns) has shown his maturity in his second year starting for Purdue. UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava has drawn interest from NFL scouts and, though he suffered a right ankle injury last week against Cal, he's "good to go" coach Bob Chesney said.
