Penn State opens the October portion of its schedule on Saturday when it hosts 1-3 UCLA at Beaver Stadium. The Nittany Lions are nearly a 30-point favorite ahead of the contest, which marks the seventh meeting between the two schools but the first since the Bruins joined the Big Ten this year.
“In general, we got to get better,” Lions coach James Franklin said Monday. “We shouldn’t have to have a setback. We got to just make sure we’re in the getting complacent and get better every week individually and collectively. Also the areas that are obvious we need to get cleaned up, like penalties. We can’t just keep talking about it. You guys don’t want to hear it, the fans don’t want to hear me keep talking about it. We want it fixed.
“And ultimately, as coaches, we got to make sure that happens. Also the players have to make sure that that happens.”

UCLA at Penn State: Game time and details
Penn State is 2-4 all-time against UCLA. That surprised Franklin and, quite frankly, this reporter as well. All six games were played between 1963 and 1968, a period that included a crossover from Rip Engle to Joe Paterno. The Lions had winning seasons in four of those six years but were also 5-5 twice, partially because of losses to UCLA.
At any rate, here are the details for this year’s matchup:
Time: Noon ET
Date: Saturday, Oct. 5
Location: Beaver Stadium in State College, Pa.
Weather: A beautiful day is on tap. Here’s the latest forecast : “Sunny skies. High 71F. Winds light and variable.”
The line: Penn State is a 27.5-point favorite.
Over/under: 46.5 points
