Who do you give the game ball to? The defense was NAILS for three quarters, but the offense got it done at crunch time?

Whew!

I have no fingernails left.

That one is going down as classic.

That has to be in the Top 10 games of all time. That was insane!!!

Pretty sure I had multiple heart attacks in the fourth quarter and overtime.

But I'm good now.

Way to go Ducks!

WOW!!!! What a game! So proud of OBD!! I'm so pumped,. and I'm hiking Mt. Jefferson in the early morning... how am I gonna get any sleep!

My 31-24 prediction is looking pretty good right now. 😁


Go Ducks!

Having bet on the Ducks, Money in the bank on the second OT TD (can't lose by 3.5 at that time.). Theiman's frosting SO SWEET

It was, we have this, then, uh oh…what outstanding poise by that team. Then an outstanding result.

my favorite duck game ever!!!!!!!!

Wow! What a game! I'm exhausted! (Good thing I'm at home, in my Barcalounger.)

"Top 10 games of all time"

And, it was a regular season game.

Probably good the Ducks have a bye to "come down" from the emotions.

Indiana did have a tough game with Iowa, also has a bye. But, that's Iowa. Pull 'em into the gutter. Lean on 'em, Wear on 'em. But, Indiana got the one big play to pull it out.

Great win, a lot of props to Penn St for coming back in a game where they looked dead in the water, they're a tough team, I feel for Allar, I think he's a good kid, he's been through a lot, he's not a great QB, but he's a tough son of a gun. We could have totally folded after those gut punches, but Dante Moore is a special player. We have some great receivers, a lot of very good clutch catchers where other receivers might have dropped them.

Defense comes up huge in the end in a game where they were dominant for 3 and half quarters. We have a great team. Go take the week off now, rest, and get ready for an extremely hungry Indiana team!

I sat in NCU. The majority of Duck fans were in NLU and NKU. When PSU had the ball they were loud as hell for such a small section. The PSU fans in our section were somewhat surprised at the noise that was coming from over there. I told them to add 58K more fans and you get a hint at what Autzen is like.

The next Ducks vs Them may be Oscar worthy. Other than that , I have no words. What a game. I love my Ducks!

Even my lifelong (from the 1950's) husky fans raved about what a great game this was. They were disappointed at how PSU let thrm down!

In my 45 plus years as a Duck fan the first 3 quarters may have been the most dominant any Duck defense has ever been.

So many players on both sides of the ball stepped it up.

Great game that took 10 years off of my life. Ducks should be ranked #2 behind the dreaded Buckeyes.... .

Listening to their fans talk about him was disappointing. They openly talk about him like he’s a piece of trash. The scrutiny he’s under is unbelievable. He does deserve better.

Never a Doubt! Right?

Hats off to Tosh. It came down to the real nitty-gritty, but on the road in a Brutal Environment, the D held up. PSU came on late, but for the most part the Nits run game was shut down.

OT = Overtime Thieneman! From Purdue, Who Knew 😍

Can't make this stuff up. Dan gets his Biggest Win to date. Dan and crew go 2-1 vs. (should have stayed at TOSU) Jimmy Knowles.😎

OBD take a nap + then put the Hoosiers to sleep.

BTW - Little Saint Nick, you should know your pick sucked. 😁

We have a Heisman caliber quarterback.

We have a pretty talented defense.

We have a rare head coach (and coaching staff)

It's all good!

D was outstanding except for that brief moment they got a little too cocky and forgot to tackle or play coverage. Super gutsy game against a really good team. Definitely a signature win for lanning.

I think we may have a new #1 running back.

We were at a large wedding reception during the entire game. I was sneaking peeks on my phone, but caught the 2nd OT on the TV in the bar.

OH MY GOODNESS. UNBELIEVABLE! AN INSTANT CLASSIC.

Can't wait to watch the entire game tonight.

No sacks and only four penalties in that environment against a solid defense. DL had those guys ready to go. When they didn’t succumb to the noise to start the game I thought they might pull this one out.

Instant classic! One of the best games I've watched in my loooooong Duck fan life! So fun to end with a win.... And my prediction was pretty dang close, probably the closest I've ever been 😅🦆🏆

I think our defense exerted maximum effort for three plus quarters and then were just worn out. Thieneman’s interception saved the defense from what may have been an embarrassing 2nd OT. Dante’s avoidance of a sack to hit Bryant for the winning TD was beautiful!

It was a lovely evening for football. Full disclosure, though. I left after the 3rd quarter. I absolutely hate traffic more than I love football. There are folks who won’t even be on the interstate until 2:00 AM.

The best part of this game was watching how emotional Dan Lanning was during the aftergame interview--the guy is ALL onboard. The rest of the game was very nailbiting .BUT___WE DID IT!!!!!!!!! WE WON!! WOOT!!!!!!!

i think Tosh Lupoi and all the coaches deserve kudos for preparing the Ducks to stop the run, maintain focus, and be physical to match and exceed Penn State. Great game Ducks!

We have a quarterback and a couple of freshmen backs, and of course the New Moore. I could mention many others! Great game, great lesson. Go Ducks!

I am ashamed of my prediction of a PSU W. How little faith I had in our team. The rollercoaster ride was incredible. So proud to be a Duck!

Let's get rested and heal, especially Sadiq. 11 more wins to go!

WE Didnt have a bye either--neener neener.

We destroyed the box score in every single category except penalties and we weren't too bad there. Sacks 2-0. TFLs 5-1. Turnovers...key. 1-0. A fumble that wasn't, and a fumble we got back. Looking at the box score you would think we won 35 to 24 or maybe even better

Our receivers are the most sure-handed group ever. Nice to have Lowe back.

I think it was a mix of being tired and taking the foot off the gas just that little bit that made a difference. Overall Tupoi probably called his best game in his time at Oregon. The D won the game for Oregon along with the ground game. I'm not taking anything away from Moore, but our ability to have so many weapons to throw at Penn St. was the difference.

Wide Receivers have a ton to be proud of in this game, they were the major question mark going into this season, and we're so much deeper than we were last year in this area of the game.

This is such a huge win for the program. We have now won the trifecta of road wins in the conference. In our last 5 years we are 3-0 in road games at Michigan, Ohio St., and Penn St. That is a huge statement.

With Indiana’s win over Iowa, we’re probably looking at another top 10 game in two weeks. College Game Day anyone?

Gary continues to get very little recognition, yet he has a TD in every game thus far, and he turned into the go-to receiver during crunch time and caught everything thrown his way. Dude is legit.

It's becoming apparent that the two frosh RBs have the faith of the coaches, and they continue to deliver.

Defense mostly looked great tonight.

Great win!

I agree. It seemed like we didn't sub anyone the defense for nearly the entire game.

They didn't need to pass the ball again after their last drive in regulation, but they did and it cost them.

One of the best regular season wins in Oregon football history. That said, what was the deal with the targeting no call? If that wasn’t targeting, what is? I’m thankful no one got hurt.

Oregon beat Penn State in Happy Valley with four returning starters from last year’s team (Laloulu, Jackson, Boettcher, and Uiagalelei). That’s pretty impressive.

I agree. I think this was the best coached game Lanning and company have ever had.

Didn't Tuioti start all 14 games last year?

I disagree: Breland played A LOT, and made some pressures at key moments...

I guess I was primarily paying attention to the ends, backers and safeties.

We have: "Dyer was down"

Penn St now has: "Whittington wasn't down"

I looked it up. Tuioti is a returning starter. Jackson is not.

I mean, the proof is in the pudding! 😁🦆

Im beginning to think Tosh may be turning into a serviceable DC...

I noticed Lanning talking to Tosh a lot during the game.

So much more to say, but I’ll leave it at this:

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, Dierre Hill is HIM.
