It can be tough to evaluate how good a team is early in the season when the competition hasn't been elite, but the Oregon Ducks have done everything asked of them through two non-conference games and looked like one of the best teams in the nation.

The Oregon Ducks earned a lopsided win against Montana state to open the 2025 season. Here are the highlights.

The No. 14 Missouri Tigers host the No. 8 Alabama Crimson Tide while the No. 7 Indiana Hoosiers travel to face the No. 3 Oregon Ducks. The Ducks are 7-0 at home all-time in AP top 10-ranked matchups. The upstart Hoosiers, meanwhile, lost both of their top 10-ranked games last season.

The lone Ducks goal on Thursday came courtesy of rookie Beckett Sennecke. With his goal coming just 4:11 into the game, Sennecke became the youngest player (19 years 254 days) in the last 10 NHL seasons to score that quickly in his professional debut and the youngest since Jonathan Huberdeau (19 years, 229 days, 2012-2013).

The Ducks led from start to finish en route to a 34-14 win over Northwestern in their Big Ten opener on the road. Dante Moore threw for 178 yards and a touchdown while Dierre Hill Jr. led the Ducks in rushing with 94 yards and a score on five carries. Hill, Jayden Limar, Jordon Davison and Kenyon Sadiq all scored TDs for UO.

The Oregon Ducks’ head coach and ESPN’s Pat McAfee sent fans into a frenzy on College GameDay after going shirtless to energize the early-morning crowd.

The Minnesota Golden Gophers (3-2) return home to host the Purdue Boilermakers (2-3) for Homecoming on Saturday night at Huntington Bank Stadium.
