It was the 5th all-time meeting between the Ducks and the Nittany Lions. Penn State led the series 3-1 dating back to the 1995 Rose Bowl. In its debut season in the Big 10, Oregon is looking to cap a perfect regular season with a conference championship, their first since winning the Pac-12 Championship in 2020.
Penn State won the coin toss and deferred to Oregon, giving the Ducks the first chance to put points on the board.
