Penn State quarterback Drew Allar throws a pass as the Oregon Ducks face the Penn State Nittany Lions on Sept. 27, 2025, at Beaver Stadium in University Park, Pennsylvania.

Overview

  • Oregon won 30-24 in double overtime at Beaver Stadium after Allar was intercepted on the first snap of the second OT.
  • Allar told CBS Sports the loss "could be the best thing" for the team if they take the right approach this week.
  • He highlighted the need to start faster and improve practice habits after a slow first half that preceded a late surge.
  • Protection issues and sluggish openings renewed media debate over whether James Franklin’s uptempo offense suits Allar.
  • Penn State next visits UCLA at the Rose Bowl, offering a quick chance to respond to the setback.
