In a high-stakes college football matchup, the No. 3 Penn State Nittany Lions fell to the No. 6 Oregon Ducks with a final score of 3, 0-24 in double overtime at Beaver Stadium. Coach James Franklin, quarterback Drew Allar and the rest of the team took ownership of the loss, signaling a potential turning point for the struggling program.
The game was a closely contested battle between two top-10 teams, with both sides showing moments of brilliance and lapses in execution. The Ducks, led by quarterback Tyler Shaprio, managed to overcome a late deficit with a dramatic touchdown and two-point conversion in the final minutes of regulation, setting up the tense double overtime.
Penn State, which has struggled with consistency under Franklin, now faces a difficult road ahead as they look to bounce back from yet another loss to a ranked opponent. The team’s performance has drawn criticism from fans and analysts, with many questioning whether Franklin can turn things around before the end of the season.
