Ducks Gameday Lookout: No. 6 Oregon at No. 3 Penn State
Everything you need to get ready for Week 5 of the Ducks’ college football season, as Oregon takes on the Penn State Nittany Lions.
Greetings from Pennsylvania.
Lookout Eugene-Springfield is in the Keystone State and ready for Saturday’s mega matchup between the No. 6 Oregon Ducks and the No. 3 Penn State Nittany Lions.
Oregon is 4-0. Penn State is 3-0. Both teams have yet to be tested, but that ends this weekend in a White Out with College GameDay in town.
Are the Ducks ready to make the leap? Is Penn State ready for revenge? Here’s what you need to know as you go about your game day morning — and make sure you stick around for live updates throughout the game.
📺 how to watch or listen 📻
When: 4:30 p.m. (PT), Sept. 27
Where: Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania
Penn State player to watch: Kaytron Allen, running back
By now, you should know that Penn State can run. The Nittany Lions totaled 297 yards on the ground against the Ducks in the 2024 Big Ten Championship game and return both lead backs, highlighted by senior Kaytron Allen.
Coming off his first-career 1,000-yard season, Allen has 273 yards (8 yards per carry) and three touchdowns through Penn State’s first three games, serving as the jab in Penn State’s one-two punch that also features senior running back Nick Singleton, who has 179 yards and five touchdowns already this season.
Allen has had success against the Ducks already — he rushed for 124 yards on 14 carries against UO in December — and will look to capitalize on an Oregon defensive front that has looked vulnerable at times so far in 2025.
Oregon player to watch: Dante Moore, quarterback
This is the game.
For a month, Dante Moore has done everything asked of him. He’s shown off his electric arm. He’s proven that he’s mobile. Most importantly, he’s shown he can be mature with the football — for a player of his talent, Moore has done a fantastic job this season of not forcing the football when he hasn’t had to. After being loose with the football at UCLA, Moore has just one turnover through four games at Oregon.
Moore is a 5-star talent. He’s climbing up NFL Draft boards. But the redshirt sophomore still needs to prove he can keep it up against top-level competition.
Penn State is that top-level competition.
If the Detroit-native can beat the Nittany Lions, on the road, in front of 100,000 PSU fans, don’t be surprised to see his name at the top of the Heisman Trophy race next week.
