No. 7 Penn State (3-1) heads west for a rare trip to the Rose Bowl, to face UCLA (0-4), looking to rebound from a crushing overtime loss to Oregon.
Drew Allar and the Nittany Lions’ offense showed late-life in that defeat, but the focus this week will be on starting faster against a UCLA squad that has struggled to find rhythm all season. James Franklin’s defense, loaded with speed at every level, should relish the chance to face a Bruins offense that has scored more than two touchdowns just once this year.
For UCLA, the challenge is immense. The Bruins have already made a coaching change after an 0-4 start, and quarterback Nico Iamaleava now faces one of the Big Ten’s toughest defenses in his first real test against an elite front. While his dual-threat ability gives UCLA some unpredictability, the team’s shaky offensive line and porous run defense have left them vulnerable week after week.
If the Lions control the trenches, this matchup could tilt heavily in their favor, leaving the Bruins fighting simply to keep it competitive at home.
