Week 5 of the college football season is upon us and the biggest game of the weekend will take place in Happy Valley, as the Penn State Nittany Lions will host the Oregon Ducks.

Their last meeting was excellent, and it was in the 2024 Big Ten Championship Game, and they put on an offensive show. This season, both teams look a little bit different, with each team having top picks in the 2025 NFL Draft.

These teams have been among the best in the nation heading into this matchup. The Ducks have been blowing teams out, including Oklahoma State, Oregon State, and Northwestern. On the other side, the Nittany Lions have also been blowing teams out, but it hasn’t been against the best competition, including their last game against FCS opponent Villanova.

This could be a massive game in the Big Ten with only two teams making it to the Conference Championship Game, and Penn State head coach James Franklin needs a big win like this on his resume, as it’s one of the only things lacking on his resume. This is an absolute must-win for Penn State, especially considering the pressure surrounding the program.

This is a game that you will not want to miss, especially with the firepower both teams have on offense with Dante Moore and Drew Allar. Here’s how you can watch the game on Saturday night.
