Oregon 

A date with Oregon could make for the best road trip for Penn State Football fans as the Oregon campus and stadium is a gem set in the upper northwest.

Autzen Stadium is one of the loudest and consistently best scenes in the sport as is Beaver Stadium, and this is not a matchup we see very often as the two last met in the 1995 Rose Bowl, a season many Nittany Lions fans feel they were snubbed of a national championship.

From an aesthetic standpoint, Penn State Football and their traditional, old school uniforms running up against Oregon and their million uniform combinations is fun to think about. The Lions traveling to Autzen in their all whites against Oregon in the highlighter green uni’s from head to toe could be fun to watch.

Both of these programs are looking to take that next step and if they were to meet, it could have major implications.
