Penn State vs. UCLA

The Nittany Lions once again got out to a slow start, failing to score a touchdown in the first quarter and only 14 points before halftime. However, the offense picked things up after that, scoring on its next four possesions before going three-and-out to start the fourth quarter.

Penn State quarterback Drew Allar started out euqally slow, going 2-4 to start the game before getting hot and finishing the firs thalf 10-14 for 129 yards. When Allar got looks he liked during the game, he attacked downfield, primarily to slot receiver Liam Clifford. The veteran was this week's receiver of the moment, with three catches for 107 yards.

The team was also without top game-breaker Nick Singleton. In his absence, Kaytron Allen carried the load, rushing 21 times for 78 yards. Freshman Quinton Martin showed off some of his potent skills, with three catches for 18 yards and several strong runs with mutiple broken tackles.

Penn State defense dominates the third quarter again

Once agian the Penn State defense, like it's offense started slow, giving up a six play drive that took up six minutes of the first quarter, but ended on a UCLA failed fourth down attempt.

However, the defense allowed the offense to race ahead in the middle of the game, as they typcially do this season. UCLA gained -9 yards in the third quarter and only manged nine plays on the way to the loss.

It was a big game for two players who've struggled recently. Safety Zakee Wheatley finished the game with seven tackles and Tony Rojas finished with eight.
