Oregon Edges Iowa on Walk-Off Field Goal as Ground Game Sets the Tone

A dominant rushing day capped by a last-second field goal extended the DucksFBS-best road streak to 11.

Overview

  • Atticus Sappington hit a 39-yard field goal with three seconds left to seal No. 9 Oregon’s 18-16 win at No. 20 Iowa, his third make of the game.
  • Dante Moore directed a 10-play, 54-yard drive to set up the winner, completing five throws for 47 yards, including a 24-yarder to Malik Benson.
  • Oregon rushed for 261 yards, led by Noah Whittington’s 118, and held Iowa to 2.3 yards per carry while forcing two fumbles in a rain-soaked, physical game.
  • Despite the road win, Oregon slipped to No. 7 in the AP poll and No. 6 in the coaches poll, with the updated College Football Playoff rankings due Tuesday night.
  • Coach Dan Lanning was non-committal on the status of injured contributors Dakorien Moore, Kenyon Sadiq, Alex Harkey and Gary Bryant Jr., and reports on social media described players moving toward Iowa fans before debris was thrown from the stands without broader official corroboration.
