As the Ducks prepare to take on Montana State in Eugene for their 2025 season opener, fans may be surprised to learn how rare this matchup has been.

One and Done — Oregon vs. Montana State

  • Single Clash in History: The two programs have met just once — on September 20, 1947, in Eugene. Oregon hosted Montana State and walked away with a 27-14 victory. That remains the only meeting on their schedules to date.
  • Perfect Record:  Oregon stands at 1–0 all-time against the Bobcats, with a flawless home record and no encounters played in Bozeman or any neutral sites.
  • Winning Margin: That lone game wasn’t a blowout, but Oregon’s 13-point win remains its narrowest and widest margin over Montana State — a quirky stat reflecting the matchup’s singularity.

As the Ducks and Bobcats prepare to clash this August, game-watchers should expect a fresh rivalry spark—lightly shaded by that lone post-WWII encounter, but entirely a new battle for 2025.

The Ducks take on Montana State Saturday August 30th.
