Oregon, who was Kirk’s favorite university football team, entered to win the game in a 30-24 thriller. The defensive defense of Oregon, Dylan Thieneman, achieved an interception of game sealing in extra time, ensuring that Kirk’s favorite team won in front of thousands of followers with his exclusive shirt.

The conservative influence Benny Johnson organized an event that delivered 5,000 of the shirts to fans before Saturday’s game in the Beaver Stadium parking.
Johnson shared earlier images on Saturday that showed a line of people waiting for the shirts. The line wrapped multiple parking sections, with the crowd encouraging while boasting the length.
Finally, a strong “USA!” The song broke out.

Kirk wore the shirt now iconic on September 10 while talking at an event at the University of Utah Valley when a single shot was shot from the roof of a nearby building, which killed the husband and father of 31 years. The murder has devastated the nation, and Tpusa has promised to continue the mission for which Kirk worked so passionately.

“On the line, and in honor of Charlie Kirk, we are going to fight cultural battles, and we will win them in a sand that Charlie loved so much: university football,” Johnson announced Thursday in “Will Cain Country.”
“Turning Point USA, in the game of the week, Penn State against the Oregon Ducks, this will be a massive game. This was a game that Charlie Kirk would attend. Charlie Kirk loves Oregon, but also has a lot of fans in Penn State and has made great events there,” Johnson continued. “Turning Point USA will deliver 5,000 Charlie Kirk Freedom shirts in that game.”
Johnson, who raised a “freedom” shirt identical to which Kirk was carrying when he was killed, said it was going to be a blackout game, which is a tradition of Penn State where fans dress blank.
Kirk has been frequently honored in the main football events since his murder in early September.
Oregon’s chief coach Dan Lanning, previously offered his condolences to Kirk’s wife, Erika, and his two children after the 34-14 victory of his team about Northwestern earlier this month.
But in a prolonged response regarding the current culture of the United States, Lanning implored Americans to look at their own costumes, saying: “People in this world can learn a lot from [it]”
“You enter that wardrobe, you have boys from different races, boys of different origins, different religions and you have a team that love each other. Tons of differences. Where they come from, what they deal with and, ultimately, you have a team that love each other, and I think we are missing part of that in our country,” Lanning said.

“I recently discovered that Charlie Kirk was a fan of Oregon, right? I didn’t know. TRUE?” Lanning said.
“But it is equally sad every day that it seems that we deal with some kind of violence that is happening in our country, whether school children in Colorado or in children in Minnesota in the churches. I mean, life is important, and I think we have lost sight of that. But I would only like that the world can learn a little of some of our costumes because we have a lot of people with differences and what you have arrived there is a people of Bunch there.”
