UCLA vs. Penn State is a game on Saturday between two teams on opposite trajectories. The No. 7-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions, despite losing to No. 2-ranked Oregon last week, look like a top team in the nation again. Conversely, UCLA has yet to win a game this year and appears likely to lose its fifth straight game on Saturday. Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming UCLA vs Penn State matchup.

What To Expect In The UCLA vs Penn State Game
Fans expecting a close matchup on Saturday will likely be disappointed. Penn State is a -4000 favorite, according to FanDuel, and we do not think they are wrong. The Nittany Lions have been one of the most consistent teams over the past few seasons, and that appears to have continued this year.
While they do not have a ranked win yet this year, the team easily won their first three games. They then went to overtime against the No. 2-ranked team in the nation last week. Conversely, the Bruins have failed to win a game this year.
Despite bringing in QB Nico Iamaleava in the offseason, the Bruins have struggled offensively in each game. Their highest offensive output was 23 points against UNLV. They put up 14 points or fewer in all three other games. These poor showings have been against unranked opponents that are not near the level of Penn State. Against the Nittany Lions, we expect the Bruins to struggle immensely.
When looking at games featuring ranked opponents this week, we do not see many that have a chance to have a bigger score differential than this one.
