UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. —
UCLA might have found something in a season wildly veering in the wrong direction.
Justyn time, you might say.
With their starting quarterback sidelined by injury, the Bruins turned to Justyn Martin and watched the redshirt sophomore make smart, efficient plays early in his first college start to keep his team competitive in a game it was expected to lose by four touchdowns.
UCLA eventually wilted in a 27-11 loss to No. 7 Penn State on Saturday afternoon at Beaver Stadium, undone by many of the same issues that have plagued it all season, but there was no doubting the promise shown by the Bruins quarterback.
