UCLA became a national story earlier in the season when it stunned No. 2 Penn State at the Rose Bowl.

The 3-6 Nittany Lions had current No. 2 Indiana in serious trouble on Saturday in State College but could not finish in a 27-24 loss.

Yep, it’s been that kind of year for the PSU program.

Even in defeat, it was a tremendous effort by Terry Smith’s Lions. The 10-0 Hoosiers were just better in the final two minutes.

Here’s what the media had to say about the Penn State-Indiana game.
