Penn State Faces Winless UCLA in Rose Bowl After Key Injury

Penn State football is facing challenges following a key injury to linebacker Tony Rojas, while upcoming opponents UCLA struggle with a winless start and recent coaching changes, creating an uncertain matchup in the Rose Bowl. UCLA's interim head coach Tim Skipper, promoted after multiple staff departures, aims to stabilize the team despite their poor record and historical series deficit against Penn State. Meanwhile, Baylor and Kansas State prepare for their Week 6 clash, with Kansas State seeking to rebound from a slow start and relying on quarterback Avery Johnson's improvement for offensive consistency. Michigan State's football program shows signs of underperformance compared to past eras, with concerns about offensive line weaknesses and the effectiveness of new athletic director J Batt's fundraising efforts. BYU continues to face difficulties against West Virginia, who have yet to lose to BYU but are undergoing a rebuilding phase under coach Rich Rodriguez, despite losing key offensive players to injury. West Virginia emphasizes a diverse rushing attack led by quarterback Jaylen Henderson, posing a challenge for BYU as they aim to reverse recent trends.
