UCLA and its 134th-ranked scoring offense turned to 33-year-old Jerry Neuheisel, a former Bruins quarterback and son of program legend Rick Neuheisel, to help turn the offense around.
Interim head coach Tim Skipper's decision to turn to Neuheisel paid dividends. UCLA scored a season-high 42 points and racked up 435 yards of offense in a 42–37 upset of No. 7 Penn State.
