Overview
- Kickoff is 1 p.m. PT Saturday at Autzen Stadium, with television coverage on the Big Ten Network.
- Dan Lanning has not officially named a starter at quarterback, though projections point to Dante Moore, who is being granted full pre-snap autonomy in Oregon’s offense.
- Montana State officially named former Stanford quarterback Justin Lamson as its starter for the opener.
- The Bobcats return 1,000-yard rusher Adam Jones and will debut new coordinators Pete Sterbick on offense and Shawn Howe on defense.
- Oregon is a heavy favorite at roughly 27.5 points and will try to extend its 34-game nonconference home winning streak as Lanning cites Montana State’s physical run game and disguise coverages as challenges.
