Overview

• Kickoff is Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET at Beaver Stadium on NBC in a rematch of last season’s Big Ten title game won by Oregon.
• Oregon enters 4-0 with a 203–37 scoring margin and sophomore QB Dante Moore facing his first major road start of the season.
• Penn State leans on a top-tier defense and the rushing tandem of Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen as QB Drew Allar seeks a sharper passing spark against an elite opponent.
• Oddsmakers list Penn State around a 3.5-point favorite with the total near 52–52.5, reflecting widespread expectations of a one-score game in a White Out setting.
• National picks are split—Joel Klatt forecasts a one-point Penn State win while others back the Ducks—and James Franklin says he expects a four-quarter battle decided by a handful of plays.
