The Ducks are the fifth top-10 opponent to play in a White Out, with PSU holding a 1-3 record in those games, and the win coming in 2016 against No. 2 Ohio State. Penn State head coach James Franklin’s record is 1-1 in those games, with the two aforementioned matchups against Ohio State being the two top-five opponents he faced.
Oregon, meanwhile, retooled after losing several key players to the NFL but hasn't missed a beat. The Ducks are 4-0, outscoring opponents 203-37. Last week, quarterback Dante Moore carved up rival Oregon State for 305 yards and four touchdowns in a 41-7 rout.
