UCLA pregame notes from Sports Information Department
The UCLA football team plays its first Big Ten Conference road game in program history Saturday when it visits Beaver Stadium, home of the seventh-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten). The game will be nationally-televised on FOX, which is also slated to have its “Big Noon Kickoff” air from University Park, Pa. Gus Johnson, Joel Klatt and Jenny Taft are on the call.
UCLA and Penn State are facing off for the first time since 1968, when the third-ranked Nittany Lions recorded a 21-6 win at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Penn State entered the matchup on a 10-game winning streak, which started after quarterback Gary Beban and the No. 3 Bruins dealt the Nittany Lions a 17-15 setback at Beaver Stadium the previous year.
UCLA leads the all-time series 4-2.
