No. 6 Oregon Defeats Oregon State 41-7 in 129th Rivalry Game

No. 6 Oregon dominated Oregon State with a 41-7 victory in their 129th rivalry game, showcasing a strong offensive and defensive performance. Quarterback Dante Moore set personal and program records by passing for 305 yards and four touchdowns, while also rushing for over 50 yards, becoming the first Oregon QB in the series to achieve such stats. The Ducks' defense was formidable, holding the Beavers to just 67 rushing yards and stifling their offense after the first quarter, highlighted by linebacker Bryce Boettcher's 10 tackles. Oregon maintained the nation's longest active nonconference home winning streak at 37 games and demonstrated significant improvement from previous matches, particularly in controlling the trenches and limiting Oregon State's rushing success. Despite the loss, Oregon State's coach Trent Bray expressed hope that his team could build confidence by competing well for a half against one of the nation's top teams. Oregon head coach Dan Lanning acknowledged room for improvement despite the dominant win, focusing on penalties and overall execution as the team prepares for upcoming challenges.
