FIRST QUARTER

PREGAME

Oregon now runs out to a version of "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

The Oregon Duck mascot lost his head before his annual pregame gag. The gag was ditched for pregame.

The Ducks announce pregame that their game captains include running back Noah Whittington, center Iapani "Poncho" Laloulu, linebacker Teitum Tuioti, and linebacker Bryce Boettcher. All captains for this game are veterans of the Oregon team.

Montana State announces former Stanford Quarterback will start

The Montana State Bobcats named signal-caller Justin Lamson as the starter under center. He's a face Oregon has defeated before as Lamson previously played for the Stanford Cardinal.

After two years with Stanford, including a 42-6 Oregon Duck victory on the road in the final year of both teams being apart of the Pac-12 Conference, Lamson used the transfer portal to reach Montana State.

Dante Moore starts for Oregon

During a recent episode of SportsCenter, ESPN college football analyst Tom Luginbill said that he has some concerns about Moore entering his first full season as a starter in Eugene.

"I think it's Dante Moore, and a lot of this has to do with the fact that 12 years of quarterback play combined between Dillon Gabriel and Bo Nix, that's what Oregon was playing with," Luginbill said. "They go from that to losing four starters in the offensive line. You lose Evan Stewart, maybe the primary playmaker is going to be a true freshman Dakorien Moore. You bring in Makhi Hughes over from Tulane from the transfer portal for the run game."
