    Vaseline Posted on

    Third-ranked Oregon opens the 2024 football season against Football Championship Subdivision opponent Idaho on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. at Autzen Stadium.

    Oregon is coming off its sixth-ever 12-win season, including a Fiesta Bowl victory over Liberty. Oklahoma transfer quarterback Dillon Gabriel will make his first start for the Ducks after arriving in Eugene last offseason.

    Idaho reached the FCS national quarterfinals last year. The Vandals will have nine new starters. Idaho has 38 freshmen, 26 redshirt freshmen and nine transfers.

    Starting safety Tysheem Johnson, who sat out the first half for unknown reasons, was back in the lineup to start the second half. Tyler Turner started in his place and made a team-high three tackles in the first two quarters.

    The Ducks lead the way but have struggled to score against the outclassed FCS Vandals, despite outgaining Idaho by 296 yards to 113.

    Oregon Offensive Leaders: Passing — Dillon Gabriel 22-for-26, 244 yards 1 TD. Rushing — Jordan James 8 carries, 49 yards, 1 TD. Receiving: Tez Johnson 6 catchesm 43 yards, 1 TD.

    Keyshawn James-Newby strip-sacked Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel and the Vandals recovered the fumble at their own 31-yard line to end a promising Ducks drive. Oregon was at the 22-yard line for the fumble. It was the second of the game allowed by the Ducks offensive line.

    Jordan James put the Ducks up by two touchdowns with a 6-yard scoring run with 7:00 left in the second quarter. It was the first TD of the season for James, who tied for the team lead with 11 rushing TDs last season.

    The score capped an eight-play, 80-yard drive that began with a Brandon Johnson interception in the end zone.

    The first win of the season went to nickelback Brandon Johnson, a freshman transfer from Duke, who intercepted a pass in the end zone with 10:24 left in the first half.

    Atticus Sappington missed a 52-yard field goal attempt with 12:05 left in the second quarter. The kick, which would have given the Ducks a 10-0 lead, also would have been a career-long one for Sappington, the transfer from Oregon State.

    The Ducks are ahead and have a first down at the halfway line as the second quarter begins.

    Dillon Gabriel led the Ducks 71 yards on 11 plays on their opening drive, capping it with a 9-yard pass to Tez Johnson for the touchdown. The score came with 8:19 left in the first quarter. Gabriel was 6-for-7 for 57 yards on the opening drive, his first in an Oregon uniform.

    Oregon starts on defense after Idaho wins the opening coin and chooses to receive. Kickoff is coming.

    Portland junior Charlie Pickard took a first-team snap with quarterback Dillon Gabriel during pregame warmups. It appeared he would start at center against Idaho.

    The starting center has been in doubt since right guard Matthew Bedford injured his knee during fall camp, forcing a lineman reshuffle. Iapani Laloulu, who was the presumptive favorite to play center, was the top reserve guard last season and appears poised to return to that position.

    Injured right guard Matthew Bedford is questionable for Oregon’s season opener against Idaho on Saturday.

    The Ducks’ first mandatory Big Ten availability report is out and there are no real surprises aside from the improved status of Bedford, who injured his knee three weeks ago and only recently returned to practice.

    The following players are not eligible for the game: cornerback Jahlil Florence, defensive backs Dakoda Fields and Ify Obidegwu, offensive lineman Dave Iuli, defensive lineman My’Keil Gardner and tight end Travis Brashear.

    Receiver Gary Bryant Jr. — a 10-game starter in 2023 — and kicker Andrew Boyle are also considered questionable.
