Penn State football’s matchup against UCLA on Saturday, October 5, is set for Big Noon Kickoff on FOX, the network announced on Saturday.

The contest will be the Nittany Lions’ third noon kickoff of the season.

The meeting will mark the sixth time the two programs have met with the most recent meeting in 1968, and it will be the first time the Nittany Lions welcome one of the new members of the Big Ten to Beaver Stadium.

Saturday will be the second time the Nittany Lions appear on Big Noon Kickoff this season after their tilt with West Virginia was also featured.
