I hopped off the plane at LAX (listening to this playlist).

Penn State football made its way to the West Coast to kick off against USC at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, October 12.

Whether you’re catching the next flight out to see the game in action, soaking in the vibes of Los Angeles as you get ready for gameday, or just want to immerse yourself in a historic matchup, we’ve got the playlist for you.

Filled with California-based tunes, you won’t want to “Escape From LA” once you start listening. This playlist is sure to get the “California Girls” rocking and be an awesome soundtrack for those “Malibu Nights.”

Get ready folks and start listening, it’s time to adopt a “California State of Mind.”
