Game Preview

The Oregon Ducks narrowly won their season opener but fell four spots to No. 7 in the latest AP poll after struggling against Idaho. They face another Idaho-based opponent, Boise State, at home this Saturday.

Despite beating the FCS Vandals 24-14, Oregon had several areas needing attention. Offensive penalties erased significant gains, and their quarterback, Dillon Gabriel, was under frequent pressure, taking three sacks and losing a fumble. Oregon’s rushing attack, usually robust, managed only 2.9 yards per carry, a stark contrast to their 2023 performance which saw them give up just five sacks all season.

Idaho’s defensive efforts disrupted Oregon, though the Ducks also faltered in executing their plays, especially on critical downs. Gabriel did pass for 380 yards and two touchdowns on 41 completions out of 49 attempts, and Jordan James rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown. The Ducks’ defense held Idaho to minimal conversions and yardage, showing strength despite the offense’s struggles.

Coach Dan Lanning acknowledged the team’s subpar performance and emphasized the need for improvement and better communication.

Boise State arrives in Eugene after a high-scoring victory over Georgia Southern, with running back Ashton Jeanty delivering a standout performance of 267 rushing yards and six touchdowns, setting school and conference records. The Broncos’ offense showcased its capability with 651 total yards.

However, Boise State’s defense also showed vulnerabilities, something they are keen to address before facing Oregon, which is looking to refine its gameplay after an unconvincing win.

The history between the teams leans in Boise State’s favor, with the Broncos holding a 3-0 record against the Ducks in their previous encounters.
