College football Week 6 preview: Penn State vs. UCLA — trap game for Nittany Lions?

"Big Noon Kickoff" heads to Penn State this weekend as the No. 7-ranked Nittany Lions, fresh off a victory over Illinois, take on UCLA at Beaver Stadium (Noon ET on FOX and the FOX Sports App).

James Franklin's team is off to an impressive 4-0 start this season, relying on a balanced attack behind junior QB Drew Allar and the one-two rushing punch of Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen. On the defensive side of the ball, the Nittany Lions are holding opposing teams to just 11.5 points and 226.5 yards per game, both of which rank second in the Big Ten through five weeks of the season.

On the other side, UCLA has struggled mightily on both sides of the ball in DeShaun Foster's first year at the helm. The Bruins sit at 1-3 overall and rank last in the Big Ten in total offense, and 17th in the 18-team Big Ten in total defense.

There are several other eye-catching matchups across the country in Week 6, including Michigan traveling to Washington to take on the Huskies in a rematch of last year's national championship game. Meanwhile, Dillon Gabriel and No. 6 Oregon get set to host Michigan State in a primetime Friday night matchup on FOX.
