Oregon Escapes Boise State 34-27 After Error-Filled Home Win

Coaches called the game a wake-up call because penalties, a muffed punt and poor fourth-down play must be fixed before the Ducks face tougher opponents.

Overview

  • Oregon narrowly beat Boise State 34-27 at Autzen Stadium, taking the lead on a 62-yard fourth-quarter touchdown and sealing the win with a late defensive stop.
  • Quarterback Dante Moore had a career day, throwing for 378 yards and three touchdowns as Oregon outgained Boise State 497-274.
  • The Ducks hurt themselves with 10 penalties for 90 yards and a muffed punt that led directly to a Boise State touchdown.
  • Oregon converted only four of 12 third downs and went 0-for-3 on fourth-down attempts, weaknesses head coach Dan Lanning labeled “not winning football.”
  • Coverage frames the result as a corrective signal rather than proof of championship readiness, and the team must fix situational and special-teams mistakes before upcoming marquee games such as USC.
