Overview

• Bruins quarterback Nico Iamaleava accounted for five touchdowns, going 17-of-24 for 166 yards with two scores and rushing for 128 yards and three more.
• UCLA outgained Penn State 435-357, converted 10 of 16 on third down, and seized early momentum with an opening-drive touchdown and a surprise onside kick.
• James Franklin accepted responsibility for the loss, saying, “That’s my responsibility. I didn’t get it done,” as criticism intensified of the defense under coordinator Jim Knowles.
• Drew Allar finished 19-for-26 for 200 yards and two touchdowns with 78 rushing yards, vowed to keep fighting, and answered “Yes” when asked if the team is still in the playoff hunt.
• Penn State played without injured linebacker Tony Rojas, the defeat followed a double-OT loss to Oregon, and next up is Northwestern at home where the Nittany Lions opened as 20.5-point favorites.
