SERIES HISTORY BETWEEN THE TWO PROGRAMS...
ALL TIME RECORD: UCLA 4-2
It has been 56 years since the Nittany Lions and Bruins met on the gridiron, but the matchup will become much more common with UCLA entering the Big Ten starting this season. All six of the all-time meetings between the two programs came in six consecutive seasons in the 1960s, with UCLA holding a 4-2 advantage during that time. The last meeting was a 21-6 Penn State victory in 1968, which was Joe Paterno's third year as head coach.
