UCLA Upsets No. 7 Penn State, Faces Michigan State Seeking Revenge
11 Oct
Summary
- UCLA defeats No. 7 Penn State 42-37 last week
- Michigan State undefeated at home, but lost last two road games
- Quarterback Nico Iamaleava stars for UCLA with 166 passing yards, 128 rushing yards, and 5 total TDs
On October 11, 2025, the UCLA Bruins (1-4) will travel to Spartan Stadium to take on the Michigan State Spartans (3-2) in a Big Ten Conference College Football matchup.
Just last week, UCLA turned their season around in a big way, defeating the No. 7 ranked Penn State Nittany Lions by a score of 42-37. Although the final score was close, UCLA never trailed in the game and had a 27-7 lead at halftime. Quarterback Nico Iamaleava was the star of the show, completing 17 of 24 passes for 166 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing 16 times for 128 yards and three more scores.
Michigan State, on the other hand, has been undefeated at home this season, beating Western Michigan, Boston College, and Youngstown State. However, their last two games have been on the road, resulting in defeats to USC and Nebraska. In their 38-27 loss to the Cornhuskers, it was a disastrous 11-minute stretch between the third and fourth quarter that made the difference, as Nebraska scored 24 unanswered points.
This matchup between the Bruins and the Spartans promises to be an exciting one, as UCLA looks to build on their momentum from the Penn State upset, while Michigan State aims to bounce back at home and protect their undefeated record in Spartan Stadium.
