Summary

No. 2 Oregon secured a 34-27 victory over Boise State on Friday at Autzen Stadium in Eugene. The Ducks overcame an early 17-7 deficit, trailing for much of the first half after a muffed punt allowed the Broncos to build momentum. Dante Moore threw for 163 yards and a touchdown before halftime, while a 62-yard fourth-quarter scoring play by Dakorien Moore provided the deciding margin. Oregon’s defense limited Boise State to a turnover on downs in the final two minutes to seal the win. Despite the result, head coach Dan Lanning noted the team must improve after committing several penalties and struggling with offensive line consistency throughout the game.
