Football Story: Oregon squeaks past Idaho in season opener
The Ducks’ first game of the 2024 season was the beginning of their quest to win a National Championship — but Saturday’s outcome wasn’t what many expected it to be.
Oregon defeated Idaho 24-14 in a game where transfer quarterback Dillon Gabriel and the offense struggled.
“Stats are one thing, but we’re focused on winning,” Gabriel said. “A win’s a win, I’ll say that, but there’s a lot we need to improve on.”
The Ducks’ season kicked off on defense. The Vandals’ first drive lasted for three plays with two one-yard gains and an incomplete pass. Their next drive wasn’t any better, as it was also a shortlived possession that ended with a turnover on downs.
Gabriel went 6-for-7 and picked up 57 yards on his first drive in an Oregon uniform. It ended with seven points for the Ducks. Wide receiver Tez Johnson completed the seven-yard catch for the first Oregon scoring reception of the season.
“I just knew I wouldn’t have that success without my teammates.…

Eugene, Ore. – So, how do I want to begin this? The dawn of a new day? A new era is upon us? Big things are happening? Alright, I’ll stop now. Let’s just keep it simple: Oregon, welcome to the Big Ten.
Now, three other universities can say the same thing as Oregon — those being UCLA, USC, and Washington. For the Ducks, however, it’s different. National championship expectations have become affiliated with the Ducks in now the third season of the Dan Lanning era. Oregon opens up the season at No. 3 in the country heading into Week One, their highest preseason ranking since 2014. Ohio State, which will travel to Eugene for a blockbuster matchup in Week Seven, is the only other Big Ten team ahead of Oregon at No. 2.
Big Ten Outlook
And then, there were two… at least for the PAC-12. Oregon State and Washington State remain the last ones standing in the broken conference, while the rest of the pack found new homes. Cal and Stanford jumped over to the crowded ACC, as…

Oregon is set to begin its 2024 season against Seattle University on Thursday at Papé Field. It will face off against Portland State University at home on Sunday before hitting the road for two games.
The Ducks will be facing several big changes in 2024, including a move to the Big Ten and a refreshed roster.
Oregon Ducks
Oregon is coming off a 2023 season in which it went 0-16-3. Part of the winless season was due to inexperience. The Ducks had 15 freshmen which ranked second among Power Five schools.
But head coach Graeme Abel hit the transfer portal hard in the offseason. Oregon welcomes 16 new players while losing 17 from last season. Seven of the transfers enter with previous NCAA Tournament experience. Fifth-year defender Makoto Nezu was part of the Santa Clara team that won the 2022 National Championship.
“The great thing this year is we don’t put as much pressure on the freshmen in order to have to contribute right away,” Abel said about the…
