The UCLA Bruins secured a narrow 20-17 victory over the Iowa Hawkeyes, showcasing a strong defensive performance despite an overall lackluster game.

Former Iowa tight end George Kittle, now with the San Francisco 49ers, lost a friendly wager with teammate Jake Brendel, a UCLA alum, reflecting his recent misfortunes in bets related to Iowa teams.

UCLA's T.J. Harden was a standout, rushing for 125 yards, while the Bruins aim for bowl eligibility despite their 4-5 record and upcoming challenges against Washington and USC.
