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.

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

They also improved to 12-0 in regular-season Big Ten play and did so in one of college football's most hostile environments, winning the rematch of last season's conference championship game. They did so despite 111,015 fans — most of them clad in all white — trying 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.
