Boise State Gave Oregon a Much Bigger Scare Than Expected

Oregon entered Week 1 as a massive favorite over Boise State, but the Broncos pushed the Ducks deep into the fourth quarter before Oregon finally escaped with a 34-27 win. We break down why Oregon looked so out of rhythm, Dante Moore’s uneven opener and the problems Boise State created for the Ducks on both sides of the ball.

We also discuss why the result may say as much about Boise State as it does Oregon. The Broncos looked much more capable than we expected against one of college football’s most talented rosters, and their performance immediately changes the conversation about the Group of Six race.
