It's been a solid first half for Dante Moore and the Ducks, as Oregon holds a 13-7 lead going into halftime. The 20-year-old star has managed to record 111 passing yards and a rushing touchdown while completing 62.5% of his pass attempts. He's on pace in terms of yards, but his accuracy has been a bit questionable, as his pass completion percentage is well below his season average of 72.9%.

Moore has been solid throughout this season. It's the first time since transferring to Oregon in the 2024 offseason that he is playing as the starting quarterback. He entered the Week 14 matchup against the Huskies with 2,447 passing yards and 23 touchdowns while owning a 72.9% completion percentage.

A win is important for Oregon, as the program can seemingly clinch a spot in the College Football Playoff.
