Big Ten Saturday Night at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock: No. 6 Oregon at No. 3 Penn State
No. 3 Penn State hosts No. 6 Oregon at Beaver Stadium in University Park, Pa., on Big Ten Saturday Night, this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock, with live coverage beginning with Big Ten College Countdown at 7 p.m. ET. Saturday’s game is a rematch of the 2024 Big Ten Championship Game in which the Ducks defeated the Nittany Lions, 45-37. This will be the sixth all-time meeting between Oregon and Penn State (Penn State leads the series, 3-2) and the first regular season matchup since a 22-14 Oregon win on October 3, 1964.
The annual Penn State “White Out” Game began in 2004 when the entire student section wore white t-shirts to the team’s game against Purdue. Three years later, in 2007, it expanded to the entire stadium in a crucial win over Notre Dame. It’s now a tradition in one of the most electric atmospheres in college football.
The Nittany Lions (3-0), who were on a bye this past weekend, defeated the Villanova Wildcats, 52-6, on September 13, led by running back Nick Singleton’s 84 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Drew Allar threw for 209 yards and a touchdown, while running back Kaytron Allen added 86 rushing yards and a touchdown in the win.
Oregon (4-0) defeated in-state rival Oregon State Beavers, 41-7, last Saturday. Quarterback Dante Moore threw for 304 yards and four touchdowns, while wide receiver Gary Bryant Jr. recorded three receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver Kenyon Sadiq hauled in four receptions for 60 yards and a touchdown in the win.
Oregon-Penn State will be called from Beaver Stadium by Noah Eagle (play-by-play), Todd Blackledge (analyst), and Kathryn Tappen (sidelines). Terry McAulay serves as the rules analyst.

The No. 11 Indiana Hoosiers visit the Iowa Hawkeyes at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Ia., this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET exclusively on Peacock, with live coverage beginning with Big Ten College Countdown at 3 p.m. ET.
Indiana (4-0) defeated then-No. 9 Illinois, 63-10, on Big Ten Saturday Night last week. Quarterback Fernando Mendoza threw for 267 yards and five touchdowns, while running back Khobie Martin had 107 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Mendoza currently leads Division I FBS quarterbacks with 14 passing touchdowns on the season.
Iowa defeated Rutgers, 38-28, on the road last Friday as wide receiver Kaden Wetjen recorded a special teams touchdown for the second straight week after returning the game’s opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown. Quarterback Mark Gronowski threw for 186 yards and added 55 yards and three touchdowns on the ground in the win.
