Penn State football will welcome the UCLA Bruins to Beaver Stadium for the first time in 57 years with a noon kickoff.
The Nittany Lions‘ second Big Ten game of their 2024 season on Oct. 5 will be televised by FOX, according to Big Ten officials. It’s designated as a “Stripe Out” game, meaning alternating sections of fans will be asked to wear either blue or white.
This will be UCLA’s first East Coast road game trip as a member of the Big Ten.
The Lions last played UCLA in State College in 1967 − losing 17-15 in Joe Paterno’s second season as head coach.
The No. 8 Lions (3-0) are preparing for their first Top 25 match-up of the season Saturday against Illinois in Beaver Stadium (7:30 p.m., NBC). The No. 21 Fighting Illini (4-0) are coming off an overtime victory at Nebraska.
UCLA is struggling in the middle of a brutal season-opening run under new head coach and former Bruins’ star, DeShaun Foster. They opened with a narrow victory at Hawaii but have yielded a combined 76 points in losing their past two games to Indiana and LSU.
The Bruins will face Top 10 Oregon at the Rose Bowl Saturday evening in Pasadena, Calif., before traveling to State College.

UCLA does lead the all-time series against the Lions, 4-2. The teams met each year between 1963 and 1968 but never again until now.
