SERIES HISTORY BETWEEN THE TWO PROGRAMS...

ALL TIME RECORD: Penn State 3-1

Penn State and Oregon have seldomly met on the gridiron, with just four games in the all-time series, all of which coming before the turn of the century. The Nittany Lions took two of three matchups in the 1960s, with the Ducks winning their first and only game in the series in 1964. The two teams played 30 years later in the 1994 Rose Bowl, with Joe Paterno and the Nittany Lions winning 38-20 in Pasadena.

The series is set to become more prevalent in the coming years with the Ducks joining the Big Ten, and the first meeting as conference foes is a big one in Indianapolis.
