Grab a beverage and let's chat Penn State football. The Nittany Dispatch is going live! www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwte...

This loss snapped Penn State’s streak of 34 consecutive wins against unranked opponents. It’s the first time a football team that was 0-4 or worse beat a Top-10 team since UTEP beat No. 7 BYU in 1985.

Who answers for this one? Gut reactions after No. 7 Penn State got blasted by UCLA. Yes, you read that correctly.

Well, you're gonna get to see Penn State run the 2-minute drill with a chance to tie or potentially win the game.

Kyron Hudson back home in California hauls in the 15-yard touchdown from Drew Allar. Beautiful pass. Penn State within 7 with 4:11 remaining

Nico getting Vince Young comparisons on the broadcast. Yeah, didn't expect to hear that today. Bruins leading No. 7 Penn State 42-28 with 6:41 left

UCLA is 9 of 12 on third downs vs. Penn State. They were at 31% coming into today.

Big-time run from Drew Allar on 3rd and 9 to pick up 27 yards. Could end up being one of the more important plays of this season depending how things shake out. UCLA up 34-28 with 14:26 left.

And.... Penn State is back in the game. Liam Clifford picks up the blocked punt (blocked by Dani Dennis-Sutton) and returns it for a TD. UCLA leads, 27-21

Khalil Dinkins flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after throwing the football after the TD. Add that to the teach tape from this one. Tbh PSU might have 10 of those tapes by the time this one ends. UCLA up, 27-14

Oof. Drew Allar sacked on 4th-and-2 for a loss of 11 yards. This is a mess in so many ways.

Nico between TWO DBs into a tight window it's a 43-yard gain. Hell of a play. Once again, PSU defense getting blasted and can't get off the field. UCLA is up on No. 7 Penn State, 24-7 with 4:47 left in the first half.

Shield your eyes

DE Zuriah Fisher nearly came away with a pick, instead it's another UCLA TD. Bruins up 17-7 with 8:50 left in the second quarter, just like we all predicted.

House money: UCLA goes for the onside kick and recovers it. Nobody anywhere near it. So, that PSU defense is back on the field after a sudden-change situation.

And... This is the first time UCLA has scored in the first quarter all season. First time they've had a lead all season too. Bruins up 7-0 after a 10-play 75-yard drive.

We've got a beautiful day in State College, likely even on par with Pasadena. The live chat is rolling as always over on Inside The Lions insidethelions.substack.com AND fresh pics from our eyes on the ground today too

TE Khalil Dinkins, known for his blocking, with a big one on the TD.

So, the Penn State offense pulled it together after the boos and the chants to fire the head coach (just 30 minutes ago). Quite the fourth quarter unfolding in Happy Valley.

Man, that's a tough one. Penn State a blade of grass away from flipping the game. Instead: Ducks up 10-3 with 3:16 left in the third quarter.

And... some boos from the home crowd

Penn State, Oregon tied at 3. Your stats at the half....

Could be a significant stretch coming up: Penn State gets the ball back with 3:42 left in the half. Nittany Lions also start the second half with the ball.

Oregon should be in green. This color matchup is messing with my brain.

Penn State strikes first with a 49-yd FG attempt from Ryan Barker.

Hello, hello.

If you read one thing I've written this week, make it this one. In 1996, James Franklin moved to Denmark to be QB & OC of the Roskilde Kings. He was teammates with grown men who worked blue-collar jobs & wanted to learn the sport. Story: insidethelions.substack.com/p/the-six-mo...

There's a very big football game tomorrow in State College. Keys, final thoughts, what to watch and..... the prediction. Everything in one place to get you ready for the White Out

Stan Drayton said they put a lot on Nick Singleton's plate this offseason: "In terms of just processing defenses, being able to anticipate things while playing full speed and that takes a little bit of time. He is on track. He really is. He's getting ready to explode."

Vega Ioane wanted to find a new way to enhance his game prep this season. The walls in his room now have sticky notes with his scouting reports on opposing players. "(My roommates) probably think I’m a little crazy, but it’s something that I think can help me a lot."

James Franklin after practice: "I like how we're preparing to handle the moment."
