Oregon interception in 2OT seals triumph over Penn State - ESPN

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Dillon Thieneman intercepted Drew Allar's pass in the second overtime period, and No. 6 Oregon outlasted No. 3 Penn State 30-24 on Saturday night, winning the rematch of last season's Big Ten conference championship game.

Jamari Johnson ran for a touchdown in overtime, Dierre Hill Jr. caught a touchdown pass, Jordon Davison ran for another score and Atticus Sappington kicked a field goal for the Ducks (5-0, 2-0), who won their FBS-leading 23rd straight regular-season game.

«Never lost our composure one second,» Oregon coach Dan Lanning said after the game. «Highs and low in this game. That's a great football team. Threw some punches; we punched more. And hit a haymaker at the end.»

Oregon improved to 12-0 in regular-season Big Ten play and did so in one of college football's most hostile environments; 111,015 fans — most of them clad in all-white — tried to lift Penn State in the final minutes.

They nearly did so.

Trailing 17-10, Penn State got the ball with 7:07 left to play. An offense that had managed just 189 yards to that point drove down the field where Allar hooked up with Devonte Ross for a 7-yard touchdown to force overtime.

Ross caught a 35-yarder from Allar earlier in the fourth, but it wasn't enough to help Penn State from falling to 4-21 against AP top 10 teams since James Franklin became coach.

Kaytron Allen scored the opening touchdown in overtime before Johnson equaled it. Allar was intercepted on Penn State's next play; the star QB fell to 0-6 against AP top-6 ranked opponents.

After enduring a sluggish, back-and-forth first half, Oregon took control in the third quarter.

Led by Moore, the Ducks drove to Penn State's 9 where Nittany Lion defensive end Chaz Coleman appeared to punch
