🏈 No. 7 Penn State football welcomes Big Ten newcomer UCLA to Beaver Stadium this Saturday for a noon kickoff on FOX.

  • Penn State meets UCLA for the seventh time in program history. Penn State trails 4-2 in the all-time series and is set for the first matchup since 1968 and the first contest as Big Ten opponents. Four of the last six matchups have been decided by one possession. PSU won the last matchup, 21-6, in 1968. The opening score of the game came on a blocked punt by Jack Ham, which was scooped up and returned 36 yards for a touchdown by Jim Kates.

  • Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton once again combined for a dynamic performance against Illinois. Allen rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries, while Singleton tallied 139 all-purpose yards (94 rushing) and scored on a 4-yard run. On the day, Allen went over the 2,000 career rushing yards mark for his career. Allen (2,058) and Singleton (2,221) are the second set of Penn State teammates to each have 2,000 career rushing yards, joining Lydell Mitchell (2,934; 1969-71) and Franco Harris (2,002; 1969-71).

  • UCLA is 1-3 this season and 0-2 in Big Ten play. The Bruins fell 34-13 against Oregon last Saturday. Ethan Garbers threw for 118 yards, while T.J. Harden rushed for 53. Bryan Addison had a 96-yard pick-six, while adding eight tackles and a pass breakup. Carson Schwesinger led the team with 13 tackles (8 solo).
