The Big Noon Kickoff show is heading to Happy Valley for its Week 6 party, leading up to the Big Ten showdown between UCLA and No. 9 Penn State at Beaver Stadium.

The weekly FOX pregame show will be spotlighting the Bruins and Nittany Lions, who will meet in a Big Ten game for the 1st time ever, as UCLA is in its 1st season as part of the conference.

Going into Week 5, the teams are most definitely heading in different directions. Penn State is 3-0 and getting ready for its Big Ten opener in primetime at home against No. 19 Illinois.

Meanwhile, UCLA was 1-2 and still licking its wounds from a 34-17 loss at LSU in Week 4 while it got ready for a Week 5 home showdown with No. 8 Oregon. The Bruins had dropped their only Big Ten game so far in 2024, as they were blown out by Indiana, one of college football’s early surprises, in a Week 3 stunner in Pasadena.

The Bruins have their work cut out for them in these next 2 games, with a home game against Oregon before heading to Happy Valley for that Week 6 showdown with Penn State in Week 6.

The Nittany Lions can’t look ahead to that FOX game either, with a home game on Saturday night against undefeated Illinois.
