STATE COLLEGE – For better or worse, the Penn State Nittany Lions face an opponent today at Beaver Stadium where everything went wrong.

The No. 7 Lions are in the final stages of preseason mode, the toughest and most revealing part of their 2024 Big Ten schedule about to begin. Next weekend is their cross country trip to top 20 USC. Then a trip to the wild Camp Randall Stadium in Wisconsin. Then there was a showdown with the overpowering Ohio State Buckeyes.

So what can Penn State football gain from today’s anticipated loss to the UCLA Bruins?

The Lions are the four-touchdown favorite against this 1-3 team that has major problems on offense and defense. They come to town with a weak starting quarterback (who was sacked four times last week against Oregon) and little hope of revitalizing their rebuilding plan.

The Lions, on the other hand, will be in cleanup mode. They will try to solve their mysterious penalty problems and exacerbate their shaky placings. It should be a day to keep the starters loose and focused before letting them rest on the sidelines as quickly as possible. A time to get their top backups in top fighting shape.

How will the power supply handle this?
