Penn State was down 17-3 in the fourth quarter, but came back with 14 unanswered points (including a 7-yard Devonte Ross TD pass from Drew Allar with 30 seconds remaining) to tie the game at 17 and send it into overtime.
Both teams scored a TD on their first possession, before Oregon scored on a 25-yard TD pass from Dante Moore to Gary Bryant Jr. and Allar was picked off.
Penn State head coach James Franklin is now 4-21 against top-10 opponents in his career.
