PASADENA, Calif. – Saturday’s game was important to Kyron Hudson for a lot of reasons.

He played at USC the last four seasons and transferred with hopes of helping Penn State win a Big Ten or national championship.

He also graduated from Mater Dei High School in the Los Angeles area and played before his personal fan section.

Hudson was the last Nittany Lion player to leave the field after previously winless UCLA’s shocking 42-37 victory Saturday.

“I grew up 15 minutes from here, so this game meant a lot,” he said. “It’s tough to lose, but we just have to continue to try to be 1-0 and soak in the moment. I saw people out there that I grew up with, so it was very cool to see that.

“I had 40 family members here, so that was a blessing for them to come out.”
