Ducks Football

Oregon went ahead quickly, scoring just 63 seconds into the game.

Oregon’s starting quarterbacks have recently been seasoned upperclassmen with loads of experience. Bo Nix played a pair of seasons with the Ducks after transferring from Auburn and Dillon Gabriel helmed the team after two years at Oklahoma. Now it’s Dante Moore’s turn, but his path has been a bit different. Moore is the presumed starter for the No. 7 Ducks, although Austin Novosad and Luke Moga have also been in the mix during preseason camp. Lanning is expected to name a starter next week ahead of the team’s opener against Montana State at Autzen Stadium.

Oregon received one first-place vote in the AP Top 25 preseason poll.

Oregon coach Dan Lanning has agreed to the terms of a contract extension that would keep him with the Ducks through 2030.
