Three takeaways from Penn State football’s shocking 42-37 loss vs. UCLA The Bruins came into Saturday averaging 14.3 points per game and were widely regarded as the worst team in the Big Ten.

My takeaways from Penn State's abysmal loss to UCLA:

A disastrous loss for Penn State. The worst of James Franklin's tenure as head coach. UCLA wins, 42-37.

Would watch for play-action from UCLA here to try and end it.

That play call is going to create some Conversations.

Great decision to go by UCLA but Penn State's defense blows it up. Enormous play by Zakee Wheatley.

04.10.2025 22:40 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Drew Allar came to play today.

There's a whole lot wrong with the Penn State defense today, but it so clearly misses having Tony Rojas out there.

Signs of life from the Penn State offense. Good drive from Drew Allar there.

Penn State down 27-7 at the half to a very bad UCLA team.

I said this defense was the best in the country after last week against Oregon. It's putting the work in to make me look like a moron. Flat-out awful against a bad offense.

04.10.2025 20:44 β€” πŸ‘ 5    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Gonna need to see a better angle, but it looked like Zuriah Fisher should've broken that up.

Gary Danielson suggesting Tony Rojas is trying to preserve his eligibility and redshirt is both reckless and obviously incorrect.

04.10.2025 20:20 β€” πŸ‘ 7    πŸ” 3    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Great run by Kaytron Allen with a good block on the edge by Luke Reynolds to get Penn State on the board. That might be one of the offense's best drives of the season.

04.10.2025 20:07 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Just a nightmare start for Penn State. UCLA surprise onside and the Bruins recover.

For the first time this season, UCLA has a lead. A terrible drive for the Penn State defense to open the game.

Penn State will take on UCLA in the Rose Bowl, but I will be covering the game from home because my appendix decided I wasn’t traveling (I’m fine). I’ll still have takeaways and a live edition of The Nittany Dispatch with @audreysnyder.bsky.social after the game.

What Penn State’s James Franklin said about improving offense, dealing with Oregon loss β€œI will also say that I’m not going to allow one loss to define our season, and I’m not going to allow a few losses to define my career and what we have done here at Penn State.”

Penn State head coach James Franklin addressed the team’s inconsistent offense and how he’s handling the last couple of days at his Monday presser.

Another top-10 matchup, another loss. Where does Penn State football go from here? James Franklin is now 4-21 against AP top-10 teams. He acknowledged after the loss to Oregon that the narrative about his failures isn’t really narrative. It’s fact.

It happened again last night. The boos. The expletives. The frustration. The disappointment.
