Overview

• Dillon Thieneman picked off Drew Allar on Penn State’s first snap of the second overtime to clinch Oregon’s 30-24 win after both teams scored in the first OT.
• Penn State’s offense sputtered to three points through three quarters before two late Allar-to-Devonte Ross touchdowns forced overtime.
• James Franklin called the program’s big-game struggles “factual” and defended choosing a late extra point over a two-point try to play for overtime at home.
• The AP Top 25 lifted Oregon from No. 6 to No. 2 and dropped Penn State from No. 3 to No. 7, tightening the Nittany Lions’ playoff margin.
• Allar fell to 0-6 against AP top-six opponents as Penn State, now 3-1, heads to UCLA next with a November trip to Ohio State on deck.
