Offensive line turnover and third-down struggles showed Oregon still has major work to do to meet national title hopes

The No. 2-ranked Oregon Ducks opened their 2026 college football season by avoiding an upset against Boise State with an exhilarating 34-27 win, led by a standout performance from Dante Moore.

Dante Moore threw for 378 yards and three touchdowns, and No. 2 Oregon overcame a slow start to down resilient Boise State 34-27 in the season opener for both teams Saturday.

Broncos come up just short against Ducks, 34-27

The first weekend of the 2026 college football season kicks off today with 15 FBS matchups. Two teams looking to capitalize on strong finishes in 2025-26 will open their season against each other when the Boise State Broncos travel to Eugene to take on the Oregon Ducks.

Jameson Perry almost ran into Evan Stewart before Stewart muffed a punt. But no flag was thrown.

Oregon’s season opener against Boise State will bring a loaded group of recruits to Autzen Stadium, including several 2027 commits and top 2028 targets.

Boise State's arrival to Eugene has gone anything but as planned, as their plane diverted to Portland and the team will arrive to Eugene late.
