Overview

  • Nico Iamaleava ran for three scores and threw two, powering UCLA to its first win of the season at the Rose Bowl.
  • UCLA outgained Penn State 446-357, rushed for 280 yards to 127, and converted 10 of 16 third downs.
  • Key sequences included a successful surprise onside kick, a blocked Bruins punt returned for a Penn State touchdown by Liam Clifford, and a late intentional safety.
  • Scooter Jackson stopped Drew Allar on fourth-and-2 with 37 seconds left, sealing the game before punter Will Karoll took the safety to drain the clock.
