No. 2 Oregon hosts Boise State at Autzen Stadium this Saturday, September 5, in a season-opening matchup. Ducks head coach Dan Lanning stated his team maintains respect for the Broncos after a narrow victory in their 2024 meeting. The 2024 contest required two special teams touchdowns and a last-second field goal from kicker Atticus Sappington for Oregon to secure its first win against the program in four attempts. Lanning noted that Boise State remains a challenge due to its effective run game and versatile offensive schemes involving tight ends and receivers. For the upcoming game, Lanning indicated that Oregon plans to utilize a rotation of players along the offensive line as the team integrates new starters. Starting guard Dave Luli, who sustained a triceps injury last postseason, has practiced this week and may be available to play.
