“The Ducks needed a punt return and a kick return for a touchdown to stay undefeated, which is probably not ideal before they’ve played a single Big Ten game.” (ESPN)
“Things just aren’t clicking yet for Oregon, which needed a game-winning field goal as time expired to escape with a 37-34 win over Boise State. The Ducks entered as nearly a three-touchdown favorite but were plagued by some of the same sloppiness that haunted them during a lackluster Week 1 win over Idaho.” (CBSSports.com)
