No. 6 Oregon Faces No. 3 Penn State in Key Matchup

State College, Pennsylvania — No. 6 Oregon will take on No. 3 Penn State today in a significant college football matchup at Beaver Stadium. The game is set for 4:30 p.m. PT/7:30 p.m. ET and marks Oregon’s first NBC broadcast of the season.

Both teams are looking to secure their spots in the national title conversation. The Ducks, who are 4-0 and reigning Big Ten champions, have dominated their early-season games, winning by at least 20 points each time. Quarterback Dante Moore has been a standout, ranking in the top 10 nationally for passer rating and yards per attempt.

Penn State, currently 3-0, is hoping to end a 14-game losing streak against top-6 ranked opponents. Head coach James Franklin faces pressure to improve his track record against high-ranked teams, holding a dismal 2-20 record against AP Top 6 opponents.

The Nittany Lions aim to capitalize on their home-field advantage during the annual White Out game, which they have won six times in a row. Quarterback Drew Allar will need to effectively manage the offense to create opportunities against Oregon’s top-ranked passing defense.

The outcome of this game could position the winner as a leading contender for the Big Ten title and the College Football Playoff. CBS Sports will provide live updates and analysis as the action unfolds.
