Penn State Visits UCLA Under Interim Coach Skipper

No. 7 Penn State (3–1) travels cross-country to face winless UCLA (0–4) at the Rose Bowl on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET, with the game on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. The Nittany Lions, coming off a double‑overtime loss to Oregon, are heavy favorites (about 25½ points) and will rely on QB Drew Allar and RB Kaytron Allen while linebacker Amare Campbell anchors a top‑10 scoring defense that must manage injury concerns. UCLA is in turmoil after firing head coach DeShaun Foster; Tim Skipper is serving as interim head coach while Jerry Neuheisel and Kevin Coyle run the offense and defense, and the Bruins rank near the bottom nationally on both sides of the ball. Transfer QB Nico Iamaleava has yet to spark the offense, and UCLA is fighting to salvage its season. The series is uneven — UCLA leads 4–3 overall — and Penn State is widely expected to use the game as a chance to rebound.
