Penn State is a 3.5-point favorite over the Ducks, according to multiple sports books, and the over/under is set at 52.5 points. Penn State did not cover the spread in its first three games, notably allowing a last-second touchdown to Villanova in a 52-6 win that impacted bettors of both the game line and the over/under.

Penn State was a late entry into the 2024 Big Ten Championship Game, getting the bid after Michigan beat Ohio State in the regular season's final weekend. Oregon, then unbeaten and ranked No. 1, jumped on the Nittany Lions quickly, taking 28-10 lead early in the second half.

But Penn State carved itsr way back into the game behind running backs Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton, tight end Tyler Warren and some wizard-like throws from quarterback Drew Allar. Penn State made it a one-possession game with 4 minutes remaining, but Allar was intercepted on a potential game-tying drive with under 2 minutes left. Oregon won 45-27, claiming the Big Ten title as a first-year conference member.

Otherwise, Penn State leads its series with Oregon 3-2, including a victory over the Ducks in the 1995 Rose Bowl to complete the program's last undefeated season.

Penn State is hosting Oregon in the 18th full-stadium White Out in program history. The White Out brand began in 2004, when Penn State's marketing team convinced students to wear white T-shirts to the Nittany Lions' game vs. Purdue. Penn State hosted three student-section White Out games before the first full-stadium White Out vs. Notre Dame in 2007.

Penn State is 11-6 in full-stadium White Out games with a six-game win streak that inlcudes last season's second official White Out, the 38-10 win over SMU in the College Football Playoff. That does not count the 2020 "White Out" vs. Ohio State played in a nearly empty stadium.

But Penn State has not hosted a team ranked in the AP top 10 for the White Out since 2018, when fourth-ranked Ohio State beat the ninth-ranked Nittany Lions 27-26. That is the only other top-10 matchup in the White Out.
