UCLA at Penn State: Game time and details

Penn State is 2-4 all-time against UCLA. That surprised Franklin and, quite frankly, this reporter as well. All six games were played between 1963 and 1968, a period that included a crossover from Rip Engle to Joe Paterno. The Lions had winning seasons in four of those six years but were also 5-5 twice, partially because of losses to UCLA.

At any rate, here are the details for this year’s matchup:

Time: Noon ET
Date: Saturday, Oct. 5
Location: Beaver Stadium in State College, Pa.
Weather: A beautiful day is on tap. Here’s the latest forecast: “Sunny skies. High 71F. Winds light and variable.”
The line: Penn State is a 27.5-point favorite.
Over/under: 46.5 points
