No. 6 Oregon overcomes No. 3 Penn State's 'White Out' in double OT

Dante Moore tossed a 25-yard touchdown pass to Gary Bryant Jr. in the second overtime and Dillon Thieneman recorded a game-ending interception as No. 6 Oregon produced a 30-24 victory over No. 3 Penn State on Saturday night in Big Ten play at University Park, Pa.

Moore completed 29 of 39 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns as the Ducks (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) notched a big victory in front of 111,015 fans during Penn State's famed annual "White Out" game.

Drew Allar was 14-of-25 passing for 137 yards, two touchdowns and one interception for Penn State (3-1, 0-1). Devonte Ross was credited with two touchdown receptions for the Nittany Lions.

Oregon blew a 14-point, fourth-quarter lead and fell behind 24-17 when Kaytron Allen scored on a 4-yard run in the first overtime session. The Ducks tied the score on Moore's 2-yard shovel pass to Jamari Johnson.

The Ducks struck on the first play of the second OT as Moore tossed the TD pass to Bryant. The Oregon two-point pass was intercepted by Penn State star Dani Dennis-Sutton.

Penn State took over and Allar threw to the right toward Luke Reynolds on the first play. Thieneman leaped and snagged the pick to end the festivities.

Dierre Hill Jr. rushed for 82 yards and caught a touchdown pass and Jordan Davison added a rushing touchdown for the Ducks, who had a 424-276 edge in total offense.

Penn State star runners Allen (54 yards) and Nicolas Singleton (21) combined for just 75 yards on 23 rushing attempts.

Oregon enjoyed a 17-3 lead before the Nittany Lions rallied.

Allar had just 62 passing yards prior to the drive but connected on all three throws on this one for 56 yards, including a 35-yard touchdown to Ross to move Penn State within seven with 10:30 remaining.

Penn State later took over with 7:07 remaining and put together a 15-play, 62-yard drive. The Nittany Lions tied the score on a play in which Ross came in motion and received a forward flip from Allar and raced to the left for a 7-yard touchdown with 30 seconds remaining.

A key sequence occurred during Oregon's go-ahead 10-play, 80-yard scoring drive in the third quarter.

The Ducks were at the Penn State 9-yard line when Chaz Coleman of the Nittany Lions knocked the ball loose from a falling Noah Whittington. Penn State's Zakee Wheatley scooped up the ball at the 10 and raced 39 yards to his own 49.

However, the officials reviewed the play and determined that Whittington's right knee hit the ground before the ball was free. Oregon maintained possession at the Penn State 8.

On the next play, Moore tossed the ball to Hill for a touchdown to give the Ducks a 10-3 lead with 3:16 left in the quarter.

Oregon increased its lead to 14 when Davison scored on an 8-yard run with 12:25 remaining in the contest.
