Oregon’s 24-14 victory over a resilient Idaho in the opener fell short of expectations, but the No.
7 Ducks get a chance to re-establish themselves at home on Saturday night against Boise State . The Ducks struggled to run the ball amid breakdowns on the offensive line and there were defensive lapses. But any issues are ultimately fixable, coach Dan Lanning said this week.
“Defensively, gave up some explosive plays, even on limited possessions. But we had 87 snaps. They had 48 snaps.
So you had the ball a lot more, but we weren’t creating the explosives that turn into positives,” he said. “Finding ways to do that, a lot of that comes with effort to the ball, finishing, proper mechanics. But you look at it and you study those pieces.
How do we create those things? And then you attack it and you build your practice plan around that as well.” New quarterback Dillon Gabriel, a transfer from Oklahoma who is generating Heisman buzz, was a bright spot for the Ducks : He completed 41 of 49 passes for 380 yards and two scores. The 41 completions was a career-best and matched an Oregon record.
Oregon went into the game ranked No. 3 in the preseason AP Top 25, but dropped after the close game against the Vandals . The Ducks had been 44-plus point favorites against Idaho, they’re a more modest 20-point favorites against the Broncos.
Boise State won its opener on the road against Georgia Southern 56-45. But against Oregon — well, the Broncos have been anticipating the game for some time. “This game is one of those games, guys,” Boise State coach Spencer Danielson said.
“Our guys have been hearing about playing Oregon since last season ended, right? So immediately after the bowl game it was Oregon 2024 and that’s college football. That’s why you come to Boise State — to have an opportunity to play these games.” MORE SPORTS COVERAGE Northern Arizona vs.
