Penn State running back [autotag]Nicholas Singleton[/autotag] is off to a solid start to the 2024 season, but how much he is used on Saturday afternoon as Penn State hosts UCLA remains to be determined. Singleton was officially listed as questionable on the Penn State player availability report, which was released a couple of hours prior to kickoff.
Big Ten teams are required to release a player availability report for their respective games no less than two hours before game time. Penn State and UCLA had some extensive reports to share leading up to their noon Eastern kickoff. Singleton being listed as questionable was the biggest headline for Penn State, although the latest report confirms safety [autotag]Kevin Winston Jr.[/autotag] remains out.
UCLA quarterback Ethan Garbers is listed as questionable, which is notable for the Bruins. UCLA’s quarterback has thrown twice as many interceptions as he has touchdowns this season, and he has been roughed up a bit in the past couple of weeks against Oregon and Indiana. If things go sour, could a quarterback change be in the works for the Bruins, potentially mixing things up against Penn State’s defense?
