Oregon Ducks rebound with blowout win and USC victory

Overview

The No. 21 Oregon Ducks secured a dominant 84-0 victory over the winless Portland State Vikings at Autzen Stadium on Friday, September 18, 2026. The blowout marked the third-largest margin of victory in the program’s history and extended Oregon’s active nonconference home winning streak to 40 games.

Quarterback Dante Moore led the offense with 280 passing yards and four touchdowns. Backup Dylan Raiola also contributed, completing 11 passes for 124 yards and three touchdowns. The 84 points scored set a new single-game scoring record for the program in the modern era. However, the game drew criticism from observers who characterized the decision to continue running no-huddle plays while leading by significant margins as being “unsportsmanlike.”

Following the blowout, Oregon transitioned into Big Ten conference play. On September 27, the Ducks defeated USC 41-27 at the Coliseum, ending USC’s long home winning streak and moving Oregon to No. 15 in the AP Top 25. Head coach Dan Lanning credited the earlier upset loss to Oklahoma State as a “wake-up call” that prepared the team for the win. Lanning also dismissed a “juice box” celebration used by USC, labeling it “fake energy” during a practice video.
