The highly anticipated college football matchup between No. 6 Oregon Ducks and No. 3 Penn State Nittany Lions is set for a rematch of the 2024 Big Ten Championship game, taking place at Penn State's hostile Beaver Stadium during the annual White Out. Penn State is slightly favored by 3.5 points, with both teams showcasing top-tier offenses and defenses according to ESPN's predictive SP+ rankings, which rank Oregon first and Penn State second nationally. Oregon's offense, led by quarterback Dante Moore, faces a tough challenge against Penn State's strong defense, while Oregon's defense must contain Penn State quarterback Drew Allar and their rushing attack.
