Game day is here again, Penn State fans! The No. 7 Nittany Lions play their first and only home game of October today when they welcome UCLA (1-3) to Beaver Stadium. It marks the Bruins’ first trip to State College since 1967 and also their first as a member of the Big Ten.
“We just keep playing good offense after good offense,” UCLA coach DeShaun Foster said when asked about Penn State on Wednesday. “It all starts with the quarterback. They have a good quarterback. Pretty good tight ends. Two running backs who are running the ball well. Some receivers. So, it’s going to be another explosive offense. So hopefully we can slow them down, puts some points up there, and get things going.”
Fans will want to pay close attention to BWI around 10 a.m. today. Both teams release their availability report then. UCLA could be without starting quarterback Ethan Garbers , who was hurt last week. And, Penn State will update the status of linemen JB Nelson and Sal Wormley , cornerback Jalen Kimber , linebacker Dominic DeLuca , and running back Nick Singleton , among others, on two hours before kickoff.
Before all of that, though, GameDay Central gets you ready for kickoff below.
