Overview

  • Dante Moore completed 18 of 23 passes for 213 yards and three touchdowns in his first start as Oregon’s quarterback.
  • True freshman Jordan Davison rushed for three touchdowns, and Malik Benson added five catches for 51 yards with a score as Oregon led 38-3 at halftime.
  • Montana State quarterback Justin Lamson threw for 198 yards, with Myles Sansted hitting two 42-yard field goals before Adam Jones’ late rushing touchdown.
