Overview
- Dante Moore started and threw for 213 yards and three touchdowns, earning postgame praise from coach Dan Lanning for sharp reads and execution.
- True freshman Jordon Davison ran for three scores, becoming the first Oregon true freshman to record three rushing touchdowns in a season opener.
- Oregon spread the ball effectively with 10 different receivers making catches and Moore’s three touchdown passes going to three targets.
- Looking ahead to Sept. 6 in Eugene, Oregon is a 27.5 to 28.5-point favorite against Oklahoma State with a 58.5 over/under, and the Cowboys are expected to start Zane Flores after Hauss Hejny’s foot injury.
- National reaction was upbeat, including an ‘A’ from CBSSports, as staff and players framed a freshman blocking error by Dakorien Moore as a full-speed learning moment.
