Nov 30, 2024; Pasadena, California, USA; UCLA Bruins head coach DeShaun Foster greets his players after a Bruins touchdown against the Fresno State Bulldogs in the third quarter at Rose Bowl.

Two former Pac-12 rivals close down Saturday's slate of Week 1 matchups in college football with a true "Pac-12 After Dark" kickoff.

At 11 p.m. ET (8 p.m. local time) on Saturday, UCLA and Utah will meet up inside the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California for the first time since both left the "Conference of Champions" for the Big Ten and Big 12, respectively.

Saturday's game is also the start of a new chapter of the DeShaun Foster era in Westwood, as Nico Iamaleava will make his first start for the Bruins after transferring to UCLA from Tennessee this past offseason because of a reported NIL compensation dispute with the Vols.

The Bruins are projected to go 6-6 overall this season by USA TODAY and finish in a tie for 11th place in the Big Ten at 4-5. With new offensive coordinator Tino Sunseri calling the plays and Iamaleava under center, UCLA is expected to have an entirely different look this season after landing Cal wide receiver Mikey Matthews and Arkansas wide receiver Jaedon Wilson from the portal on top of grabbing a new offensive lineman from the portal.

The Utes, now in their second season competing in the Big 12, are projected to go 9-3 overall and finished tied for second in the Big 12 with a 6-3 conference record in that same USA TODAY projections article.
