🏈 No. 3/2 Penn State football welcomes No. 6/5 Oregon to West Shore Home Field At Beaver Stadium on Saturday for the Penn State White Out Game. Kickoff is set for at 7:30 p.m. on NBC.

  • Penn State meets Oregon for the sixth time in program history and just the third time in a regular-season matchup. The Ducks will visit Happy Valley for the first time since 1964. The Nittany Lions lead the all-time series, 3-2, but fell 45-37 in the 2024 Big Ten Championship Game. Kaytron Allen (124 yards) and Nicholas Singleton (105) both rushed for 100+ yards, while Allen added a rushing touchdown.

  • The Nittany Lions are set to host their 18th full-stadium Penn State White Out. The tradition began with a student section White Out in 2004 and expanded to a full-stadium White Out against Notre Dame in 2007. Penn State holds an 11-6 record when the full stadium wears white. Saturday's matchup will mark just the second White Out with both teams ranked among the AP Top 10, joining the 2018 game between No. 9 Penn State and No. 4 Ohio State.

  • Oregon is 4-0 this season (1-0 in Big Ten) after a 41-7 win over Oregon State. The Ducks gained 585 yards. Dante Moore threw for 305 yards and four touchdowns, to four different receivers. Oregon's defense limited the Beavers to 147 yards and eight first downs.
