Overview
- UCLA toppled No. 7 Penn State 42-37 at the Rose Bowl, snapping an 0-4 start with its first lead of the season.
- Iamaleava completed 17 of 24 passes for 166 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 128 yards with three scores.
- The performance was UCLA’s first in 30 years with at least three rushing and two passing touchdowns by one player.
- The Bruins entered as 24.5-point underdogs and became the first winless 0-4 team in roughly four decades to beat a ranked opponent.
- The upset followed the firing of DeShaun Foster and coordinator exits, with Neuheisel elevated to call plays as Iamaleava, a spring transfer from Tennessee in a rare QB-for-QB swap, led the way; the loss complicates Penn State’s playoff path.
