Oregon will be visiting unfriendly territory at Penn State as the Ducks take on the Nittany Lions on Saturday. Both teams are undefeated, so one team’s winning streak will have to end. Oregon is currently 4-0 while Penn State is coming into the game fresh and well-rested from a bye week and are currently 3-0.
A win for either team would cement them as one of the teams to beat this season and probably challenge Ohio State at the top of the rankings. It would also make their CFP bids a lot easier as both teams may be getting a better guarantee should they beat the other.
Penn State vs. Oregon Football Game Announcers Today
With both teams being heavily favored to win it all this season, a lot of tension is to be expected. The question is, who will be calling the game? NBC will be broadcasting it and it will be called by the network’s own duo of Noah Eagle and Todd Blackledge, who are their lead announcers for college football games.
With such an important game, Eagle will be the play-by-play announcer for the game, as he is also NBC’s lead announcer for the NFL. Meanwhile, Blackledge will be the game’s color commentator, and he is more than familiar with the Big Ten, as he is a Penn State alumnus and previously played for the Nittany Lions as a quarterback when he was younger.
The third person in the broadcast team will be NBC’s Kathryn Tappen, who is also known for being a sports reporter for the NHL and golf.
What Time Is The Penn State vs. Oregon Game Today?

What To Expect In The Penn State vs. Oregon Game
Both teams are considered some of the best college football teams today, and both are hungry for that national title. With their College Football Playoff hopes hinging on a win, expect both teams to go all-out as they aim for the victory over their Big Ten rivals.
Drew Allar may be one of the best quarterbacks in college right now, but the Penn State star is currently struggling. Expect Oregon’s defense to go after him relentlessly as they try to clamp down on the Nittany Lions’ offensive struggles that they have been having since the start of the season, even though they are still undefeated.
The game will be a close one, and expect both teams to step up their defenses in this highly contested game.
