PASADENA, Calif. — No. 7 Penn State will travel to the West Coast for a showdown with UCLA on Saturday at the Rose Bowl on CBS. The Nittany Lions are coming off a heartbreaking double-overtime 30-24 loss to Oregon last weekend and will look to bounce back against one of the few winless teams left in the FBS.
Penn State started the season 3-0 with wins over Nevada, FIU and Villanova before facing their first-ranked opponent of the 2025 campaign. With the loss to the Ducks, Penn State coach James Franklin dropped to 2-21 against top-six opponents.
UCLA entered this season with a significant amount of hype after landing former Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava via the transfer portal. But that hype has fallen flat after just one month. The Bruins fired their former coach, DeShaun Foster, last month following an embarrassing loss to New Mexico at home and are one of just four FBS teams that haven’t won a game this season.
The Bruins are also the only team in the FBS that hasn’t led in a game this season.
