Overview

  • Dillon Thieneman intercepted Drew Allar in the second overtime to seal the Ducks’ 30-24 road win at Beaver Stadium.
  • Dante Moore went 29-for-39 for 248 yards and three touchdowns, while Allar finished 14-for-25 for 137 yards with two scores and the decisive interception.
  • The Week 6 AP Top 25 moved Oregon up four spots to No. 2 and dropped Penn State four places to No. 7; the Coaches Poll lists them No. 2 and No. 6, respectively.
  • The upset capped a volatile Week 5 in which six ranked teams lost, with Ole Miss jumping to No. 4 and Alabama returning to the top 10 after beating Georgia.
  • Reaction in State College focused on quarterback decisions as fans criticized Allar and invoked ex-backup Beau Pribula, while James Franklin said he takes responsibility; sportsbooks shortened Oregon’s title odds to +600.
