No. 6 Oregon walked into Happy Valley and pulled off a major upset against No. 3 Penn State, a 30-24 victory to launch itself to the forefront of the national title conversation. Safety Dillon Thieneman reeled in a ridiculous interception in double-overtime to pull a stunner.

Penn State went on a furious run to end the fourth quarter, eliminating a 14-point deficit behind a physical running attack. The Nittany Lions called runs on 11 out of 15 plays on the final drive of the game, but decided to air it out to start double-overtime. Quarterback Drew Allar’s pass was tracked down and intercepted by Thieneman.

Oregon dominated much of the game, holding onto the ball for more than 33 minutes and outgaining the Nittany Lions by nearly 150 yards. Freshmen Dakorien Moore and Thierre Hill Jr. were standouts in the win, posting 89 yards receiving and 82 yards rushing, respectively. Veteran Gary Bryant reeled in the game-winning 25-yard touchdown.

With the loss, Penn State coach James Franklin moves to 2-21 in games against AP top 6 opponents. The Nittany Lions have a 15-game losing streak against such teams dating back to 2016. This was the first ever ranked road victory by Oregon coach Dan Lanning.

Scroll below for highlights and analysis as Oregon outlasted Penn State in a marquee Week 5 showdown.

1) Fast start

Both teams made a point of mentioning how starting fast would be instrumental in winning this game. After a quarter, neither team was on the board and both offenses were still feeling things out. It was quite the contrast from the last time these two teams played.

While Penn State could get nothing done on offense, Oregon did move the ball well, they just couldn’t convert when it counted. It was only a matter of time until the dam broke.

2) Defense did all it could

Knowles faced this offense twice last season. The first, Oregon took advantage of the Buckeyes. The second time, the Ducks couldn’t do a damn thing until the game was well out of hand. His experience against Will Stein was a big reason this game didn’t get out of hand early.

Unfortunately, every break went Oregon’s way, so the defense’s effort came just short.

3) Same old

That fourth quarter looked like the story would be different this time around, but, in the end, it’s the same story we’ve seen over and over.

Penn State had as good of a chance as it has ever had to climb the big game hump in the James Franklin era. The White Out, a bye week ahead of the matchup, a team stacked with NFL talent. A valiant fourth-quarter comeback sent the game to overtime, but critical mistakes put the visiting Oregon Ducks over the line in the second overtime for a 30-24 win over Penn State.

Oregon had the opening possession of the ball game and found some mild success running the football, converting an early third-and-one. After Penn State forced a 4th and short, the Ducks set up to go for it but were called for a false start. The Nittany Lions took over following a punt and went three-and-out on their opening possession.

With better starting field position than its initial drive, Oregon again moved the ball on the ground, this time deeper into Penn State territory. On a 4th and three at the Penn State 38-yard line, Amare Campbell and Zion Tracy converged to stop Dante Moore just short of the marker for a turnover on downs.

Penn State’s second drive started shakily, with an eight-yard loss on the first play of the possession on an attempted screen. A key third-down pass from Drew Allar to Nicholas Singleton set up a fourth down conversion, and another third-down reception by Singleton put the Nittany Lions in scoring position at the start of the second quarter. The drive stalled, and Ryan Barker drilled a 49-yard field goal right down the middle to give Penn State a 3-0 lead.

Oregon dinked and dunked its way down the field on the following drive and stayed ahead of the chains. Dante Moore led the Ducks offense to the Penn State 29, but his third-down scramble was stopped short of the first down line. Atticus Sappington missed a 47-yard field goal wide left to keep the Nittany Lions in the lead.

After a Penn State three-and-out, Oregon again drove into scoring range, assisted by a 20-yard pass from Dante Moore to Dakorien Moore on 4th and 1 near midfield. The Ducks’ drive stalled, and Atticus Sappington made no mistake on his second field goal attempt to tie the game at 3. Penn State picked up two first downs on its next drive but was forced to punt, and a good punt by Gabriel Nwosu prevented the Ducks from mounting another scoring drive. The game went to halftime tied at 3, although Oregon had a near 2-1 advantage in time of possession and outgained Penn State 189-69 in the half.

Penn State’s first possession of the second half showed signs of life but ended with a punt in plus territory. Oregon marched right down the field, and with the help of an overturned fumble ruling and a questionable missed holding call, took the lead for the first time on an 8-yard touchdown pass from Dante Moore to Dierre Hill Jr.

Another three-and-out from the anemic offense handed the ball right back to Oregon, and the Ducks finally started blowing open gaps in the middle of the field against a tired Penn State defense. On a fourth and 1 from the Penn State 8, Jordon Davison ran through the middle untouched for a touchdown to put Oregon ahead 17-3 with 12:25 left in the ball game.

Drew Allar and the offense did not go quietly into the autumn night. Penn State answered with a 4-play, 75-yard drive in 1:55 that culminated in a 35-yard touchdown pass from Allar to Devonte Ross:

Oregon converted a third and short on its following drive, but a critical unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against Alex Harkey turned a manageable third down into a third and 21. The drive fizzled out, and the Nittany Lions got the ball back at their 38 with 7:07 to play.

With the game on the line, the offense engineered a 15-play, 62-yard drive that sucked up 6:37 that featured 33 rushing yards from Drew Allar, a key fourth-down conversion, and a third-down conversion, both in short yardage. One of the grittest drives Penn State’s offense has put together in recent memory finished with a gadget play 7-yard shovel pass to Devonte Ross, who eased into the end zone to tie the game at 17 with 30 seconds left:

The White Out went to overtime for the third time ever and the first time since 2014. Oregon won the coin toss and chose to play defense first, giving Penn State the first crack in overtime.

Penn State’s momentum rushing the ball spilled over into overtime, and a 16-yard jet sweep by Trebor Peña led to a 4-yard touchdown run by Kaytron Allen on the following play:

Oregon converted on fourth down for the fifth time with the game on the line on their overtime possession, and a two-yard touchdown pass to Jamari Johnson sent the game to a second overtime. Dante Moore found a wide open Gary Bryant Jr. for a 25-yard touchdown pass on the first play in the second overtime.

Dani Dennis-Sutton intercepted the two-point conversion attempt, but Drew Allar threw a game-ending interception to Dillon Thieneman on the first play of Penn State’s possession.

Penn State drops to 3-1 and will travel to UCLA next weekend. Kickoff is scheduled for next Saturday at 3:30pm on CBS.

Hear this story

Penn State football had a key opportunity to make a statement in the Big Ten — and all of college football — in Week 5.

That statement, however, came up short.

The No. 2-ranked Nittany Lions’ late comeback against No. 5 Oregon fell short in double overtime, as Penn State dropped its Big Ten opener to the Ducks, 30-24, at Beaver Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 27. It’s the 21st time that the Nittany Lions have fallen to a top-10-ranked opponent under James Franklin.

Oregon defensive back Dillon Thieneman provided the heroic moment for the Ducks, as he picked off Penn State quarterback Drew Allar on the first play of the Nittany Lions’ second overtime period after Dante Moore connected with Gary Bryant Jr. for a 25-yard go-ahead touchdown.

Once trailing 17-3 at the start of the fourth quarter, Allar led the Nittany Lions on an impressive fourth-quarter performance, which included two touchdowns to wide receiver Devonte Ross, to force overtime against the Ducks.

With the loss, Penn State has dropped its first game of the season. Meanwhile, for Oregon, the Ducks picked up their eighth win in program history against a top-three-ranked team.

Saturday’s game between the Nittany Lions and Ducks is Penn State’s annual White Out Game at Beaver Stadium, in which the entire stadium wears white. The Nittany Lions snapped their six-game win streak in the White Out Game, as it was the first time Penn State had lost in the annual game since 2019 to Michigan.

Oregon will have 30 seconds remaining on the clock to score points.

Drew Allar converts fourth down for Penn State

This time around on fourth-and-1, Drew Allar calls his own number out of a timeout and picks up the first down for Penn State. The Nittany Lions are marching in Oregon’s red zone once again with a seven-point deficit.

On the next play of the drive, Allar threw a screen pass to Kaytron Allen, who bullied his way through several Oregon defenders to set up a second-and-3 at the Ducks’ 12-yard line coming out of the two-minute timeout.

Nick Singleton converts fourth down for Penn State

Penn State goes back to Nick Singleton on fourth-and-1 and the Nittany Lions’ running back comes through, as he pushes the huddle enough to get the first down. It’s a big-time pickup for Penn State, which is in the midst of its most important drive of the night.

Oregon punts

Penn State gets the ball back at its own 33-yard line with 7:07 remaining in the fourth quarter after Oregon is forced to punt the ball. Dante Moore connected with Gary Bryant Jr. for a 7-yard catch on third-and-21, which was set up by a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty by the Ducks’ Alex Harkey on third-and-6.

A big drive coming up for Drew Allar and Penn State’s offense, who can tie the game at 17-17 with a touchdown.

Drew Allar throws 35-yard touchdown pass

Drew Allar takes a shot on first-and-10 and it pays off as he connects with Devonte Ross for the touchdown. It’s a perfect throw by Allar to Ross, who beats multiple Oregon defenders on the post route, and it’s a much-needed answer from the Nittany Lions’ offense.

A quick four-play, 75-yard drive from Penn State brings Oregon’s lead to 17-10 with 10:30 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Oregon extends lead over Penn State

Third quarter: Oregon 10, Penn State 3

Oregon leads Penn State after three quarters

Dante Moore’s touchdown pass to Dierre Hill Jr. has Oregon leading Penn State 10-3 going into the fourth quarter in Happy Valley. The Nittany Lions have struggled all night against the Ducks’ defense, as Penn State has created just 109 total yards of offense compared to Oregon’s 303 yards.

The Ducks are 15 minutes away from picking up another top-10 ranked win under Dan Lanning, while the Nittany Lions need a big final quarter from Drew Allar and Co. to avoid their 21st loss to a top-10-ranked team under James Franklin.

Penn State punts

It’s a quick three-and-out on offense for Penn State following Oregon’s touchdown, as Drew Allar completes one of three pass attempts for a single yard. The Ducks have done a nice job all night at making it uncomfortable for Allar in the passing game.

It’s all momentum on Oregon at the moment.

Oregon takes lead on touchdown

It’s a game of inches — literally. Oregon scores its first touchdown on the night with an 8-yard screen pass from Dante Moore to Dierre Hill Jr., which puts the Ducks up front 10-3 against Penn State.

The Ducks’ touchdown ends quite the drive, as Oregon was originally called for a fumble that was recovered and returned 39 yards by Penn State’s Zakee Wheatley on the previous play. However, Chaz Coleman’s forced fumble on Oregon’s Noah Whittington was overturned as video replay showed Whittington down before Coleman knocked the ball out.

Oregon converts on third down

Dante Moore delivers his biggest throw of the game on third-and-3 as he finds Kenyon Sadiq on the scramble for a 23-yard gain and the first down. It’s a big-time throw by Moore, who gives Oregon its third conversion on third down on the night.

The Nittany Lions’ defense has now given up 142 passing yards.

Oregon’s Teitum Tuioti forces Penn State punt

Penn State’s best offensive drive of the night stalls on third-and-9, as Oregon’s Teitum Tuioti picks up the Nittany Lions’ play call from the jump and tackles Drew Allar for no gain.

The Ducks get the ball back at their own 27-yard line with 9:10 remaining in the third quarter.

Kaytron Allen picks up first down

Kaytron Allen extends Penn State’s first offensive drive of the second half with a 1-yard carry on third-and-1. The ruling of the first down for the Nittany Lions was upheld after an official review on the field.

First half: Penn State 3, Oregon 3

Penn State, Oregon tied at halftime

After two quarters in Happy Valley, it is tied 3-3 between Penn State and Oregon. A holding penalty against Oregon’s Isaiah World kept the Ducks from getting more points before heading into the locker room.

In an interview with NBC’s Kathryn Tappen, Penn State coach James Franklin said the Nittany Lions’ offense needs to get going up front with their running game. Penn State was outnumbered by Oregon 189-69 in total yards of offense in the first half.

The Nittany Lions get the ball first to begin the second half.

Penn State punts

After making a 14-yard pass to Devonte Ross on third-and-8 and a false start penalty by Penn State’s offense, Drew Allar throws three incomplete passes. The Nittany Lions punt the ball back to Oregon, who gets it at its 10-yard line with 1:07 remaining in the first half.

Penn State stadium capacity

As noted by Centre Daily Times, Penn State’s Beaver Stadium has a capacity of 106,572. The capacity for Nittany Lions’ games this season is slightly lower than that at 106,304, since the stadium is currently undergoing construction.

Oregon field goal ties game

Penn State’s defense nearly comes up with an interception as Dante Moore misses his throw on third-and-4 that was intended for Dakorien Moore, which sends the kicking unit back out onto the field. Oregon kicker Atticus Sappington hits the 42-yard field goal to tie the game at 3-3.

The scoring drive was 10 plays for 51 yards and took over four minutes off the game clock.

Oregon makes big play on fourth down

Dante Moore finds Dakorien Moore down the field on the play-action for a 20-yard reception and first down. It’s the sixth conversion on fourth down that Oregon has converted this season, per the NBC broadcast, and the third of the night.

Oregon misses field goal attempt

Oregon coach Dan Lanning elects to go for the field goal after quarterback Dante Moore dives just 3 yards short of the first down on third-and-8 on the quarterback scramble. The kick from Oregon kicker Atticus Sappington is, however, no good. The 47-yard field goal attempt sails left of the goal post.

Penn State takes over at its 29-yard line with a 3-0 lead and 9:39 remaining in the second quarter.

Penn State field goal gives Nittany Lions lead

Penn State is on the board first with a 49-yard field goal down the middle from Ryan Barker. The scoring drive was 11 plays for 32 yards and took 4:56 off the game clock.

A big defensive series is coming up for Jim Knowles’ unit as the Nittany Lions now have a 3-0 lead over Oregon.

First quarter: Penn State 0, Oregon 0

Penn State, Oregon tied after one quarter

One quarter down in Happy Valley and the score is tied at 0-0 between Penn State and Oregon. Both teams are settling in on offense, as their defenses have come up with a few key plays of their own. The Nittany Lions created just 18 yards of total offense in the first quarter compared to the Ducks’ 52 yards.

Penn State is moving on offense and will start the second quarter with a third-and-8.

Penn State picks up first down

When in doubt, give the ball to Nick Singleton.

That appears to be the mindset for Penn State on offense in its second drive of the game, as the Nittany Lions’ running back picks up the first down on fourth-and-1 after he gave Penn State a shot to extend its drive with a 15-yard catch on a dump pass in the middle.

Penn State stops Oregon on fourth down

The Nittany Lions’ defense comes up with their first big stop of the night on fourth-and-3, as Amare Campbell puts a big hit on Oregon quarterback Dante Moore to pick up the turnover on downs. It’s a real nice play by Campbell and AJ Harris to stop Moore a yard short of the first down on the quarterback scramble.

Penn State’s offense will take over at its own 36-yard line with 3:22 remaining in the first quarter with the score still tied at 0-0.

Oregon punts after false start

Oregon attempts to go for it on fourth-and-inches, but Ducks tight end Jamari Johnson is called for a false start, which sends the Ducks’ punt unit out onto the field. The White Out home field advantage from the fans inside Beaver Stadium is off to a successful — and loud — start.

Oregon starts on offense

It will be Oregon’s offense heading out first on the night. We’re underway in Happy Valley!

An overturned fumble from Oregon running back Noah Whittington led to a touchdown for the Ducks on the ensuring play during Saturday night’s battle of top 10 teams against Penn State. With 3:40 to play in the third quarter, it appeared the Nittany Lions had a takeaway inside the red zone after Whittington broke a tackle and coughed up the ball before it was returned downfield.

After review, officials ruled that Whittington’s knee had touched on the turf before he regained his balance and made a move prior to a fumble, thus ruling him down.

Oregon quarterback Dante Moore found Dierre Hill Jr. on an 8-yard scoring toss — the game’s first touchdown — on the ensuing play to silence the capacity crowd inside Beaver Stadium.

The Ducks have dominated time of possession on the road and Whittington’s fumble would’ve been the game’s first turnover had the play stood. The overturn erased any momentum for the Nittany Lions after seemingly ending the 10-play drive that the Ducks had mounted.

Oregon took a 10-3 entering the fourth quarter and would be the co-frontrunners of the Big Ten alongside top-ranked Ohio State with a victory.
