#23 Nebraska Hosts #16 UCLA Saturday

09/13/2013 9:03 AM | Regional Sports

 (AP) - Jim Mora can't imagine a more difficult situation for his UCLA football team.

 Less than week after the death of receiver Nick Pasquale, the 16th-ranked Bruins visit No. 23 Nebraska on Saturday.

Mora says the Bruins must control their emotions and remain poised in a tough environment in Lincoln. He said the game can help his players channel their grief over the death of Pasquale, who was struck by a vehicle Sunday while he was walking in his hometown of San Clemente, Calif.

Both teams should know a lot more about themselves after Saturday, particularly on defense.

UCLA is 1-0 after beating Nevada 58-20 two weeks ago. The Huskers are 2-0 after last week's 56-13 win over Southern Mississippi.

You can hear the Huskers live on SUNNY 101.3 and A-M 1230 KTNC on Saturday.  Pre game coverage on KTNC begins at 6 a-m with SUNNY coverage to start at 10:10 a-m with the Bo Pelini Coahes Show.
