ESPN’s College GameDay reveals Nittany Lion legend as guest picker for Penn State-Oregon White Out
College GameDay will air from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday to preview a packed day of college football, including the White Out. Arrington will join in the final few minutes to make his picks alongside the desk of Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Nick Saban and Pat McAfee.
As a member of the 2023 recruiting class, Rivals Industry Rankings placed Moore as a five-star prospect and the nation’s No. 2 quarterback. He originally committed and played for the UCLA Bruins as a freshman, but transferred to Oregon and sat behind Dillon Gabriel in 2024.
Nittany Lions fans camp in the rain, and State College businesses drape themselves in white to welcome the Ducks.
Nick Saban took a trip down memory lane, recalling Alabama's White Out win vs. Penn State in 2011: "It didn't help them much."
Penn State's offense has reason for optimism beyond Allar, starting with the productive tailback tandem of Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton. There's also an offensive line anchored by guard Vega Ioane and left tackle Drew Shelton, with Ioane perhaps the country's top interior line prospect.
Despite their time off, Penn State was punished in ESPN’s updated college football rankings. The Nittany Lions dropped three spots to No. 10 in ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI).
