Boise State BroncosvsOregon Ducks
BOIS 27/ORE 34
Things to say
Oregon beat Boise State 34-27 at home in the season opener.
01
opener
Oregon handled Boise at home, 34-27. Closer than it should've been though. Dante Moore was carving them up all night.
02
key player
Moore was the whole show — 378 yards and 3 touchdowns. Kid looked like a Heisman guy out there.
03
hot take
Boise threw 3 touchdowns and still lost. When you can't run the ball and eat clock, you're just renting the lead.
04
deep cut
That 62-yard house call to Dakorien Moore late basically iced it. Broke a 27-27 tie right when Boise had all the momentum.
05
exit
We'll see if that D holds up once Oregon hits real Big Ten teams. Anyway — you catching next week's game?
The recap
Oregon and Boise State traded haymakers all night in Autzen until Dante Moore ended it, hitting Dakorien Moore on a 62-yard bomb off a 27-27 tie to put the Ducks up for good. Moore was surgical, going 28-of-37 for 378 yards and three scores, with Jeremiah McClellan torching the Broncos for 150 yards and a touchdown.
Boise State hung around behind Maddux Madsen's three TD passes and even knotted it up in the fourth, but they couldn't answer that last strike. Oregon opens 1-0 and Boise heads home wondering how they let a game they were dead even in slip away.
