Overview

  • Oregon’s official availability report ruled Dakorien Moore out at Iowa after a practice knee injury, following conflicting early reports about its severity.
  • The Ducks won 18-16 on Atticus Sappington’s 39-yard field goal with three seconds left after Dante Moore led a 10-play, 54-yard drive that featured a 24-yard completion to Malik Benson.
  • In cold, rainy conditions, Oregon leaned on the run as Noah Whittington rushed for 118 yards, and the Ducks extended their FBS-long road winning streak to 11 games.
  • Oregon’s receiving corps thinned further when Gary Bryant Jr. left in the first quarter with an apparent right leg injury, and the team also played without TE Kenyon Sadiq and RT Alex Harkey.
  • Multiple outlets report Moore’s injury is not believed to be season-ending, and the win keeps Oregon’s College Football Playoff hopes on track ahead of Friday’s home game against Minnesota.
