The No. 2 ranked Oregon Ducks opened their 2026 season with a 34-27 victory over Boise State at Autzen Stadium. Despite being 24.5-point favorites, the Ducks struggled early, conceding a touchdown on their opening drive and allowing another score following a muffed punt. The team also faced discipline issues, committing 10 penalties for 90 yards. Quarterback Dante Moore anchored the offense, recording 388 passing yards and three touchdowns. After the score was tied at 27 in the fourth quarter, Dakorien Moore secured the win with a 62-yard touchdown reception with 7:51 remaining. Boise State quarterback Maddux Madsen also contributed three touchdown passes in the effort. Following the win, attention has shifted toward Dante Moore’s Heisman Trophy campaign. To support his candidacy, the Oregon football official Instagram account released a hype video featuring a voiceover from his father, Otha Moore, emphasizing his work ethic and personal journey. Moore enters his fourth season with 5,224 career passing yards and 41 touchdowns.
