Oregon, Montana State Name Starting Quarterbacks For Week 1 Matchup

The 2025 college football season opener features significant quarterback decisions for Oklahoma State and Montana State. Oklahoma State will start Hauss Hejny against UT Martin, a dual-threat quarterback with prior game experience at TCU and familiarity with new offensive coordinator Doug Meacham, while Zane Flores may also see playing time. Montana State has named Justin Lamson, a former Stanford quarterback known for his rushing ability but less consistent passing, as their starter against Oregon. Lamson transferred from Stanford this summer and quickly earned the starting role after strong performances in fall camp and scrimmages, stepping in for All-American Tommy Mellott. Oregon will face Lamson again, whom they previously defeated in 2023 when he played at Stanford, and he acknowledges the challenge posed by Oregon's athletic defense. Both teams are looking to solidify their quarterback roles early as they prepare for key matchups in the season opener.
