SALT LAKE CITY — No. 3 Penn State hosts No. 6 Oregon in the annual "White Out" game at Beaver Stadium in a Big Ten title game rematch Saturday night .Oregon won that title game 45-37 in December, but it was Penn State who made the deeper playoff run, and held a lead over Notre Dame before a latecollapse cost them a spot in their first national title game since 1986.
