Overview

  • Oregon won 30-24 in double overtime at Beaver Stadium’s White Out after Penn State erased a 17-3 fourth‑quarter deficit to force extras.
  • Drew Allar’s first play of the second overtime was intercepted, and he later vowed to “go into the fire” to help fix the season.
  • Penn State’s offense produced only three points through three quarters before a late surge briefly masked earlier stagnation.
  • The defeat drops the Nittany Lions to 3-1 and complicates their College Football Playoff case given a light nonconference slate; UCLA is next before November dates with Ohio State and Indiana.
  • Franklin called criticism of his big‑game record “factual” as fan frustration grew, while Oregon coach Dan Lanning suggested the teams might meet again.
