On September 27, 2025, ESPN's popular college football pregame show 'College GameDay' is set to travel to Happy Valley, home of the Penn State Nittany Lions. The show will be on site for a crucial top-10 showdown between Penn State and the Oregon Ducks, a game that carries significant implications for the College Football Playoff and Big Ten title race.
The Nittany Lions enter the matchup with high expectations, having returned key starters from last season, including quarterback Drew Allar and running backs Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton. They also welcome back star edge rusher Dani Dennis-Sutton. Meanwhile, the Ducks are looking to build on their impressive 13-1 campaign under fourth-year head coach Dan Lanning. Oregon's offense, led by quarterback Dante Moore and receivers Dakorien Moore and Malik Benson, has been among the nation's most prolific, averaging 50.8 points per game.
The Penn State crowd is expected to be fired up for the annual White Out game and a night kickoff. Adding to the excitement, former Nittany Lions linebacker LaVar Arrington, a two-time award winner and Heisman Trophy finalist, will serve as the guest picker for the 'College GameDay' broadcast.
