Oregon Ducks vs Idaho Vandals team news
Oregon Ducks team news
The Ducks are ushering in a new era at quarterback following Bo Nix's selection by the Denver Broncos as the 12th pick in the NFL Draft, making way for Dillon Gabriel to step up and showcase his talents. The backfield will also see fresh faces after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted Bucky Irving. Additionally, the team bids farewell to Troy Franklin, who has also moved on to the NFL. On the defensive side, the Ducks lost key players, with Evan Williams and Khyree Jackson both departing for the NFL. However, they bolstered their offense by securing wide receiver Evan Stewart through a transfer.
Idaho Vandals team news
Idaho is a heavy underdog here. Most expect them to lose, but there is still a possibility they could keep things respectable if their key players perform well.
Jack Lyne steps in as the new quarterback, having thrown for 325 yards and eight touchdowns in limited appearances last season. He will face a tough challenge in a hostile environment. Nick Romano needs to have a standout game for the Vandals to have a shot at covering the spread. Last season, Romano rushed 269 times for 1,279 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging 4.8 yards per carry.
Jordan Dwyer is the top receiver, with 19 catches for 323 yards and four touchdowns. Turon Ivy Jr. also contributed with 20 receptions for 329 yards and two touchdowns last year. On defense, the team will be heavily reliant on Dallas Afalava, a defensive end who will be crucial in managing the opposing offense.
