Overview

  • ESPN’s College GameDay will be on site for the prime-time NBC/Peacock broadcast, marking only the second White Out featuring two top-10 teams.
  • The matchup reprises last year’s Big Ten Championship, which Oregon won 45-37 over the Nittany Lions.
  • Penn State hired former Ohio State coordinator Jim Knowles to lead a defense that has started 2025 near the top nationally in scoring and total defense.
  • The Nittany Lions lean on a two-back rushing tandem in Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen, who helped produce 297 rushing yards against Oregon in last year’s title game.
  • Oregon brings a balanced, high-output offense behind QB Dante Moore (262.3 passing yards per game, 11 TDs, 1 INT), while betting lines list Penn State around -3.5 with an over/under near 52.5 as both teams face their first true test of the season.
