Top-10 Showdown In Autzen
The eyes of college football will once again be on Oregon this week as the No. 3 Ducks return from their bye week to host No. 7 Indiana in Autzen Stadium. It will be the second top-10 showdown in as many games for Oregon, which won a double-overtime thriller at then-No. 3 Penn State on Sept. 27. Oregon and Indiana both enter Week 7 at 5-0 overall and 2-0 in Big Ten play, and will square off for the first time since the Hoosiers beat the Ducks in Eugene in 2004. Oregon will also play at the site of ESPN's "College GameDay" pregame show for the second straight game as the show makes it 13th all-time appearance in Eugene. The Ducks are 20-13 all-time and 9-3 at home when featured by "College GameDay," and Autzen Stadium will host a top-10 matchup for the eighth time in stadium history.

A Win Would...
» Be Oregon's second straight over a top-10 team, 36th all-time and 17th inside Autzen Stadium.
» Extend the nation's longest active regular-season winning streak to 24 games, and the nation's longest active home winning streak to 19 games.
» Make Oregon 6-0 to start the season for the second year in a row and fifth time since 2010.
» Improve UO to 12-0 all-time in Big Ten play.

Ducks Win Top-10 Tilt In Double OT
In what HC Dan Lanning called "the best game I've ever been a part of," the Ducks pulled out a thrilling 30-24 win in double-overtime at then-No. 3 Penn State two weeks ago to keep all of their biggest dreams very much alive. After a touchdown pass from QB Dante Moore to TE Jamari Johnson forced a second overtime, Moore hit WR Gary Bryant Jr. for a touchdown on the first play of the second OT before DB Dillon Thieneman iced the game on the next play with his first interception as a Duck. Oregon responded after Penn State came back from a 17-3 deficit in the fourth quarter, following touchdowns from true freshmen running backs Dierre Hill Jr. and Jordon Davison. ILB Bryce Boettcher led the defense with a career-high 13 tackles, and Moore threw for 248 yards and three scores on a career-high 29 completions. It was the eighth top-three win in program history, and first on the road since 2021.

23 Straight Regular-Season Wins
Oregon will put the nation's longest regular-season winning streak on the line this week against No. 7 Indiana after pushing it to 23 straight games with its thrilling double-overtime win at Penn State in Week 5. The Ducks have not lost in the regular season since a 36-33 loss at No. 7 Washington on Oct. 14, 2023. It is the longest regular-season win streak in program history, with the previous long being a 15-game streak from the final three regular-season games of 2009 through the 2010 regular season. Throughout the streak, Oregon is averaging 39.5 points per game while allowing just 15.3 points per contest. The Ducks have scored at least 30 points in 21 of the 23 games and have allowed 14 points or less 14 times.

Home Cookin'
Oregon has been one of the most dominant teams in the nation at home over the last decade-plus, and the Ducks put together a perfect 7-0 home slate for the second year in a row in 2024. It was Oregon's fifth undefeated regular season at home since 2019 and 12th in program history, and the Ducks' wins over Montana State, Oklahoma State and Oregon State to open 2025 extended their home winning streak to 18 games dating back to the 2022 season, the longest active home winning streak in the nation and fifth-longest home winning streak in program history. Oregon is 41-1 (.976) at home since an overtime loss to Stanford on Sept. 22, 2018, a span that included 23 straight home wins to match the longest home win streak in program history. UO is 50-3 (.943) at home since the start of the 2017 season, boasting the nation's third-best win percentage and tied for fifth-most wins during that time.

Ducks Outlast Nittany Lions In Double OT
The game lived up to the hype, and Oregon's biggest dreams remained very much alive as well. A touchdown for the Ducks in double overtime followed by an interception of Penn State clinched a win for the UO football team in a battle of top-10 teams at Beaver Stadium on Sept. 27. Playing in front of the biggest crowd ever to watch a UO football game, a frenzied "white out" of 111,015 Nittany Lions fans, the No. 6 Ducks silenced them all when DB Dillon Thieneman picked off Drew Allar on No. 3 Penn State's first play of double overtime for a 30-24 Oregon victory. The rematch of the 2024 Big Ten Championship Game saw the Ducks top the Nittany Lions again, earning the eighth top-three victory in program history and extending the nation's longest active road winning streak to nine games. The victory required some fortitude from the Ducks, who took a 17-3 lead early in the fourth quarter and saw Penn State lean on its rushing attack to tie it up with 30 seconds left in regulation. The two teams traded touchdowns in the first overtime, Oregon scored in the second but didn't convert the mandatory 2-point try, and Thieneman came through to deny the Nittany Lions another comeback. QB Dante Moore finished the game 29-of-39 for 248 yards and three touchdowns, including both of Oregon's overtime scores. His shovel pass to TE Jamari Johnson allowed the Ducks to match Penn State's touchdown in the first overtime, and WR Gary Bryant Jr. followed with a 25-yard scoring reception on the first UO play of the second OT. It was the first overtime game as a head coach for Dan Lanning and Oregon's first overtime contest since an OT loss at Stanford on Oct. 2, 2021. It marked UO's first overtime win since Oct. 13, 2018, vs. Washington, and first on the road since a three-overtime thriller at Arizona State on Oct. 29, 2015.

Still Perfect In Big Ten Play
Oregon's win at Penn State in Week 5 kept the Ducks perfect all-time in Big Ten play at 11-0. The Ducks ran the table in their inaugural year in the Big Ten last season, going 9-0 in conference play before defeating Penn State in the Big Ten Championship Game to claim the league title. Oregon has opened Big Ten play in 2025 with a pair of road wins over Northwestern and Penn State and will put its perfect Big Ten record on the line against Indiana in its 2025 Big Ten home opener.

Scoring At Will
Oregon's offense has been among the most dominant in the nation since HC Dan Lanning took over in 2022, and the Ducks have kept up that reputation early on in 2025. Oregon followed up its 59-point output vs. Montana State in the season opener with a 69-point explosion against Oklahoma State in Week 2, scoring 50-plus points in back-to-back games for the first time under Lanning and first time since the first two games of 2018. Outside of an end-of-game kneel down in the season opener, Oregon scored touchdowns on 16 of its first 21 drives to begin 2025, with nine offensive touchdowns against Montana State and eight against Oklahoma State. The Ducks have scored at least 30 points in all five games this season after their 30-24, double-overtime win at Penn State, their 30th 30-plus point performance in their last 33 contests since the start of 2023.

» Oregon is one of seven schools with multiple games of 59-plus points this season, and one of 12 to have scored at least 30 points at least five times.
» UO is No. 6 nationally with 46.6 points per game; one of seven schools averaging at least 45.0 PPG.
» Oregon is tied for No. 6 nationally with 31 total touchdowns scored; Vanderbilt leads the FBS with 35.
» The Ducks have scored points on all 23 of their red-zone opportunities, second-most among teams scoring on 100 percent of chances, while coming away with 19 touchdowns.

Incredible Balance
You couldn't ask for a more balanced offense than what Oregon has produced through five games. After being perfectly balanced in the season opener with 253 yards both rushing and passing, the Ducks racked up 319 passing yards and 312 rushing yards vs. Oklahoma State. It was the first time since the 2023 season opener vs. Portland State that Oregon had at least 300 yards both rushing and passing in the same game, and the Ducks are one of only nine FBS schools to achieve that feat so far this season. The Ducks nearly reached that mark again in the nonconference final vs. Oregon State, passing for 305 yards and rushing for 280, before logging 248 yards passing and 176 rushing at Penn State. Oregon is one of only four schools (Florida State, Indiana, Old Dominion) to have surpassed 250 yards both passing and rushing three times this season.

» UO is ninth nationally in total yards per game (503.8) and eighth in total yards per play (7.47).
» Oregon ranks 11th nationally in rushing yards per game (239.40) and 40th in passing yards per game (264.4).
» Oregon's 29 offensive touchdowns have come from 10 different players; tied for 15th in rushing touchdowns (15).

Explosive Ducks
Oregon was generating chunk plays at will in Week 2 vs. Oklahoma State, racking up 10 plays of at least 20 yards as well as five plays of 40-plus yards and four of at least 50. The Ducks had back-to-back touchdowns of 50-plus yards in the opening quarter, as RB Noah Whittington broke loose for a 59-yard TD run and QB Dante Moore found WR Dakorien Moore for a 65-yard touchdown pass. Oregon produced five plays of 20-plus yards in Week 3 at Northwestern, headlined by a 66-yard touchdown run by RB Dierre Hill Jr. that was Oregon's longest rush since the 2022 Holiday Bowl, and then erupted for 10 more in Week 4 against Oregon State. On the season, Oregon is tied for fourth nationally in plays of 20-plus yards (37) while also tying for seventh in plays of 50-plus yards (6).

DanteMoore_PSU_EE

Dante Delivers In Top-10 Showdown
Quarterback Dante Moore rose to the occasion in Oregon's thrilling double-overtime win at No. 3 Penn State on Sept. 27, staying calm in front of the biggest crowd ever to watch the Ducks play (111,015) and throwing two touchdowns in the overtime periods to lead UO to victory. Moore completed a career-high 29 passes on 39 attempts for 248 yards and three touchdowns, including a crucial connection with TE Jamari Johnson on fourth down for a touchdown to force a second overtime and then a 25-yard strike on the next play to WR Gary Bryant Jr. Moore was selected as the Big Ten Co-Offensive Player of the Week for his performance. Moore has been terrific through five games as Oregon's starter, completing 100-of-134 passes for 1,210 yards and 14 touchdowns with just one interception.

Thunder And Lightning
The Ducks' offense has heavily featured a pair of true freshmen in RB Dierre Hill Jr. and RB Jordon Davison, who OC Will Stein has given the nickname "Thunder and Lightning." Hill has been a dyanmic playmaker for Oregon, leading the team with 270 rushing yards on just 26 carries (10.4 YPC) while rushing for a pair of touchdowns, and Davison has provided the thump in short-yardage and goal-line situations with a team-high seven rushing touchdowns. The freshmen scored Oregon's first two touchdowns at Penn State in Week 5, with Hill logging his first career receiving touchdown on an eight-yard pass in the third quarter before Davison rushed for an eight-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter.

» Davison is tied for the FBS lead among freshmen with seven rushing touchdowns while tying for seventh nationally overall.
» Davison has rushed for a touchdown in all five games, including three in his collegiate debut vs. Montana State.
» Davison became the first UO true freshman to run for three TDs in a season opener.
» Davison joined Royce Freeman (4, 10/18/14 vs. Washington) as the only UO true freshman to rush for three-plus TDs in a game.
» Hill ranks second nationally with 10.38 yards per rush; one of just two players (Jaden Nixon, UCF) averaging 10.00+ yards per carry.
» Hill led Oregon in rushing at Northwestern (94 yards, TD) and at Penn State (82 yards).
» Hill broke loose for a 66-yard TD run at Northwestern, the longest run by a Duck this season and fourth-longest by a FBS freshman.

Loaded Running Back Room
Hill and Davison are joined in the Oregon running back by a talented group of returners, forming arguably the nation's deepest group in the backfield. RB Noah Whittington, in his fourth year at Oregon and sixth in college football, has started all three games he has played, and junior RB Jayden Limar has also earned the first three starts of his career. Limar leads the Ducks with 39 carries through five games, scoring three touchdowns while averaging 5.9 yards per carry. Whittington has averaged 8.8 yards per atempt with 21 rushes for 184 yards and two touchdowns, returning from a two-game absence to rush seven times for 25 yards at Penn State.

We'll Have Some Moore
The Moore-to-Moore connection has been on full display early in 2025 as QB Dante Moore has developed a quick connection with true freshman WR Dakorien Moore. A five-star recruit, Moore has wasted no time while starting each of the first five games for the Ducks and leading the team with 19 receptions for 296 yards while catching two touchdown passes. He became the first UO true freshman receiver to start a season opener since Josh Delgado in 2019, catching three passes for 26 yards in his debut and also making highlights with a tremendous block on a touchdown by WR Gary Bryant Jr. Moore broke out in Week 2 against Oklahoma State, scoring his first career touchdown on a 65-yard reception and then getting loose for a 25-yard touchdown run. Moore became the first UO receiver since Jaylon Redd in 2019 and just the fifth since 1996 to have both a receiving and rushing touchdown in the same game, and he is one of just 11 FBS wide receivers to do so in a game this season. The freshman provided highlights once again in Week 4 vs. Oregon State with three catches for 63 yards and a score, opening the scoring with a 23-yard touchdown on Oregon's first drive of the game, and he caught seven passes for a team-high 89 yards in Oregon's double-overtime win at No. 3 Penn State. Moore ranks fourth among FBS freshmen in receiving yards and sixth in receptions.

The Law Firm - Protection You Can Trust
Oregon's offensive line has been arguably the best in the nation since head coach Dan Lanning arrived in 2022, leading all FBS teams during that time with just 32 combined sacks allowed. Army is second in that span with 35 sacks allowed, but the Ducks have attempted more than 1,100 more passes at 1,552 compared to just 449. Oregon's 32 sacks allowed are 12 less than any other Power 4 team (Kansas, 44). The Ducks led the nation in fewest sacks allowed in back-to-back years in 2022 and 2023, giving up just five sacks in each of those seasons. Oregon tied for 45th nationally with 21 sacks allowed in 2024, but seven of those came in the first two games and eight came in the CFP Quarterfinal at the Rose Bowl. In 11 games between Week 3 and the Big Ten Championship Game, Oregon was tied for No. 2 nationally with just six sacks allowed. Oregon has been terrific up front once again so far in 2025, tying for the national lead with just one sack allowed while ranking second in fewest tackles for losses allowed (12). UO has surrendered just 17 total pressures through five games.

Defense_PSU_EE

Relentless D
Oregon's defense was a driving force throughout the 2024 season and has been terrific once again early in 2025. The Ducks held Montana State to just 13 points in the season opener before keeping Oklahoma State out of the end zone and allowing only a field goal in Week 2. In Week 3, UO shut out Northwestern through three quarters and allowed a pair of late touchdowns in its Big Ten opener on the road. After yielding a first-quarter touchdown to in-state rival Oregon State, the UO defense put the clamps on the Beavers and did not allow another point in a 41-7 victory in Week 4. Penn State failed to reach the end zone until the fourth quarter in Oregon's 30-24 double-overtime victory in Week 5.

Oregon is tied for fourth nationally with just seven total touchdowns allowed this season (tied for third in the Big Ten) and its two passing touchdowns allowed are tied for fifth-fewest in the country (tied for third in the Big Ten). UO currently is tied for sixth in the country in scoring defense at just 12.2 points allowed per game, which ranks third in the Big Ten, holding each of its first four opponents to 14 points or fewer after doing so seven times in 2024. Oregon's dominant effort vs. Oklahoma State marked the first time it has not allowed a touchdown in a game since a 35-0 shutout at Purdue last season.

Setting The Tone
The Oregon defense has stifled opponents in the first halves of games this season, allowing teams an average of just 3.2 points in the first 30 minutes of play, including a first-half shut out of Northwestern in Week 3. The Ducks allowed a first-half touchdown for the first time this season against Oregon State in Week 4, marking the initial points against the Ducks in the first quarter of games. In five consecutive weeks, UO has forced a punt on its opponents' opening possession of the game - forcing Montana State, Oklahoma State, Oregon State and Penn State to three-and-outs to begin the day.

No Fly Zone
A big key to Oregon's defensive success has been its deep and talented secondary. UO did not give up a passing touchdown through the first four weeks of the season and is one of 15 FBS teams to allow two or fewer passing touchdowns on the year. The Ducks have held its first five opponents below the 200-yard mark through the air, including two under 100 passing yards, and are giving up an average of 123.4 passing yards a game (fifth nationally) with an opponent passer rating of 92.80 (fourth nationally). Additionally, the Ducks recorded two interceptions in back-to-back games against Oklahoma State and Northwestern, with three of those from the linebacking corp (ILB Jerry Mixon, OLB Bryce Boettcher). DB Dillon Thieneman's interception in double overtime sealed the Ducks' 30-24 win at Penn State, and marked the fifth interception and sixth turnover forced this season.
