Overview
- Atticus Sappington drilled a 39-yard field goal with 3 seconds left to finish a 10-play, 54-yard drive sparked by Dante Moore’s 24-yard strike to Malik Benson.
- The Ducks leaned on the ground game for 261 rushing yards, led by Noah Whittington’s 118, on a day when Moore threw for 112 yards with one interception.
- Oregon played without Dakorien Moore, Kenyon Sadiq and Alex Harkey, and lost Gary Bryant Jr. to an apparent right-leg injury in the first quarter; his status remains uncertain.
- Reports on Dakorien Moore’s injury conflicted, with a now-deleted ACL claim from On3 and CBS reporting it is not believed to be season-ending; the longer-term outlook is unresolved.
- The victory moved Oregon to 8-1 (5-1 Big Ten), extended its FBS-best road winning streak to 11 games, and strengthened its College Football Playoff positioning ahead of hosting Minnesota on Friday.
