Penn State goes on the road for the first time in 2025 this weekend when it heads to UCLA for a Week 6 Big Ten clash. As the team did a year ago when traveling west, it left from Harrisburg International Airport on Thursday afternoon and arrived in Los Angeles around dinner time the same day. It will practice Friday in California before battling the Bruins on Saturday.

“Man, well-coached team,” UCLA interim head coach Tim Skipper said on Monday. “Coach Franklin always has his guys ready to go. I think he’s a top-notch coach in his profession. And, you see it by the product you watch on the film. Their offense is going to give you a lot of eye candy. They’re going to shift, motion, and then do what they’re going to do. So you have to be locked in, adjusting to formations, and they run every formation and invent formations. They got offensive tackles out wide. We’ll have to lock into what we’re doing.
