How to Watch, Listen and Stream - Penn State Nittany Lions at UCLA Bruins: Game Time, TV Schedule, Radio, Odds and More
The Bruins host the Nittany Lions at the Rose Bowl for the first time.
The last time Nittany Lions visited UCLA was 1968. That means that this is the first time the teams have met in the Rose Bowl. Back then, Penn State was still an independent team as they didn’t join the Big Ten until 1993.
While there were reports that Noel Mazzone will be joining the team as an offensive analyst, I’m not sure if he will be in the booth for Saturday’s game or not. Personally, I can’t believe he’s been hired back by the Bruins after his terrible stint as offensive coordinator.
One thing we will know for sure is that we will know he’s back the moment the Bruins’ offense calls a bubble screen to wide receiver. After all, Mazzone drove Bruin fans nuts for years with that play.
If you’re headed to the Rose Bowl tomorrow, don’t forget that the game is a Blue Out. Of course, whether the shade of blue is powderkeg or navy may not be decided before kickoff. Personally, the odds are good that there will be a lot of navy there tomorrow. Speaking of odds, let’s look at those.
Odds
OK, I can’t not make a joke here about UCLA’s chances tomorrow against Penn State. They have exactly two chances: slim and none.
Seriously, though, UCLA is a big 25.5 points underdog in tomorrow’s game. Despite the big point spread, it may still not be big enough. Give the points and take the Nittany Lions.
The Over/Under for this game is 49.5 points. Like the point spread, this seems low. Heck, Penn State may cover the over on their own in this one. I’m taking the over this week.
Last week, I took Northwestern and gave the 6.5 points, but the Bruins lost by three. So, that drops me to 2-2 for the season. Last week, I took the under, which moves me to 3-1 for the season on the Over/Under.
Tailgating and Game Time Weather Forecast
It should be a Chamber of Commerce day tomorrow in Pasadena by game time, though it will be a chilly 58° when the parking lots open at 6:30 am for tailgating. It should continue to warm up to a temperature in the around 74° for kickoff at 12:30 pm PT.
Look for it to continue to warm up into the upper 70s by halftime. By the fourth quarter, the temperature will dip slightly, but still be in the mid-to-upper 70s.

How to watch...Put a paper bag over my head? ☹️
If NOTHING else, I hope Jerry will call for Thomas to have at least 20 carries
