Indiana Upsets No. 3 Oregon 30-20, Exposes Ducks’ Protection Problems

Indiana’s relentless pressure exposed Oregon’s protection issues, reframing the loss as a team failure.

Oregon quarterback Dante Moore looks toward the scoreboard as the Oregon Ducks host the Indiana Hoosiers Oct. 11, 2025, at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon.

Overview

  • Ducks quarterback Dante Moore went 21-of-34 for 186 yards with one touchdown and two fourth-quarter interceptions that ended Oregon’s comeback bid.
  • Indiana sacked Moore six times and logged multiple tackles for loss, disrupting Oregon’s passing game and revealing a pass-protection weakness.
  • Oregon mustered just 267 total yards and converted 3 of 14 third downs, including only 81 rushing yards with one rushing yard after halftime.
  • Hoosiers quarterback Fernando Mendoza completed 20 of 31 passes for 215 yards and added 31 rushing yards, while Roman Hemby powered a 111-yard ground effort with two scores.
  • Coach Dan Lanning defended Moore, called the defeat a collective failure, and said the team will treat it as a learning opportunity ahead of a demanding Big Ten stretch.
