Oregon overcomes slow start to earn win against Boise State

The 6th-ranked Oregon Ducks opened their 2026 season with a victory over Boise State after a sluggish offensive performance. Oregon trailed 17-14 at halftime and failed to score in the first quarter of the home game. Quarterback Dante Moore and wide receiver Dakorien Moore struggled to find a rhythm early, and the team missed multiple fourth-down conversions. Dan Lanning noted that the team allowed Boise State to remain competitive by failing to execute in critical situations throughout the matchup. Despite the final outcome, the performance drew internal scrutiny regarding the team's readiness for the remainder of the season. Oregon prepares to face Oklahoma State on Saturday, September 12, as the coaching staff looks to address inconsistencies in play execution.
