**EUGENE, OR** – The No. 7 Oregon Ducks survived a scare at Autzen Stadium, defeating Boise State 37-34 in a nail-biting game that came down to the final seconds. The Ducks, who were favored by a significant margin, had to rely on a 25-yard field goal by Atticus Sappington as time expired to secure the victory.

The game was a back-and-forth affair with both teams trading blows throughout the contest. Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty put on a show, scoring two touchdowns and consistently proving a thorn in the Ducks’ side. However, Oregon’s offense, led by quarterback Dillon Gabriel, also found its groove, with standout performances from Traeshon Holden and Evan Stewart.

The game’s most dramatic moment came in the fourth quarter when Oregon’s Noah Whittington took the opening kickoff of the final frame all the way for a touchdown, tying the game at 34-34. The Ducks’ defense then held strong, forcing Boise State to settle for a field goal attempt that was ultimately missed. This gave Oregon the chance to drive down the field and set up Sappington’s game-winning kick.

Oregon will look to build momentum from this hard-fought victory as they move on to their next opponent.
