Times are very difficult for UCLA football.
The Bruins will face an irritated and motivated Penn State team on Saturday, coming off a shocking 30-24 double overtime loss to Oregon.
UCLA is 0-4 and lost its Big Ten opener, 17-14, at Northwestern last week. The Bruins fired head coach DeShaun Foster after being embarrassed on their home field by New Mexico.
The Lobos pushed around UCLA and won 35-10, pushing out Foster after only one full season.
On Tuesday, UCLA made another coaching move.
