Why we're excited for Oregon at Penn State
Penn State's annual White Out game will be a top-10 matchup with the Oregon Ducks. Three of the Nittany Lions' six losses in full-stadium White Out games have come against AP top-10 opponents.
Including last year's playoff game against SMU, Penn State has won six straight White Out games since losing to No. 4 Ohio State in 2018.
This is the sixth time that the teams have met, but just the second time they've played at either campus. Penn State leads the series 3-2.
Oregon has allowed a total of 37 points this season, its fewest through four games since 1958 (12).
Penn State RB Nicholas Singleton has five rushing touchdowns in three games this season and has run for a TD in six straight games dating to last season, tied with Antwan Raymond (Rutgers) for the longest active streak in the Big Ten.
The last time Oregon and Penn State were on CGD
Oregon hosted Ohio State for CGD on Oct. 12, 2024. The Ducks ultimately defeated the Buckeyes 32-31. Saturday marks Oregon's 12th appearance on "College GameDay." Penn State last appeared on CGD on Nov. 2, 2024, when they also hosted Ohio State. The Buckeyes ultimately defeated the Nittany Lions 20-13. Saturday marks Penn State's 26th appearance on "College GameDay."
