Dante Moore threw for 378 yards and three touchdowns as No. 2 Oregon rallied to a 34-27 win over Boise State in the season opener Saturday, Sept. 5, 2026, in Eugene, Ore. After trading field goals to tie the game at 27 in the fourth quarter, Dakorien Moore caught a 62-yard touchdown to put the Ducks ahead with 7:51 remaining. Oregon totaled 497 yards to Boise State's 274 but was penalized 10 times for 90 yards. Boise State quarterback Maddux Madsen threw for 181 yards and three touchdowns in the upset bid; the Broncos entered the game as 24.5 point underdogs. The Broncos recovered a muffed punt and converted special teams plays and fourth down chances that kept the game close. The win extended Oregon's streaks to 16 straight season-opening wins at Autzen Stadium and 39 straight nonconference home victories.

Boise State pushing No. 2 Oregon to the limit and UMass beat Rutgers. This is why we play the games.

I mean yes but we understand those are two completely different things, yes? When was the last time Oregon and Boise played and it wasn’t a rock fight

Good encapsulation of things: LSU pass breakup on third down by the Boise State transfer DB who 100% would not have gotten juked like that by Dakorien Moore a few hours ago. He's like the 32nd-most touted LSU portal add this year

if Western Michigan can pull this off, the MAC is legitimately in play for a playoff berth. And they host Boise State in a few weeks in what would be one of the biggest G6 games in a very long time.

You never have to apologize for winning, but that was not a clean effort from Oregon today. www.cbssports.com/college-foot...

This is actually from an Oregon fan, but this is also exact coping us Boise State fans are doing

I don’t care what happens the rest of the Oregon game, but if polls worked correctly, Oregon would drop from 2, and Boise State would enter the top 25 even if they lose.

I will donate to whichever Oregon state legislator runs a bill banning the Ducks from ever scheduling Boise State again.

I'd be enjoying this Oregon/Boise State game more if I wasn't aware my uncle might take his life if #2 ranked Oregon loses to an unranked team at home but only slightly

In a game that felt too similar to the 2024 game, the Ducks escaped Autzen with a win - nbut as many questions as answers. Here is my full game recap story: www.ducksportscentral.com/p/no-2-orego...
