Summary

- Oregon lost by a significant margin, 56-22, against Indiana.
- Moore's NFL Draft decision remains undecided after the loss.
Oregon quarterback Dante Moore experienced a difficult night on Friday, culminating in a 56-22 loss to Indiana. The redshirt sophomore struggled, throwing three turnovers, including an immediate pick-six that put Oregon behind 7-0 just 11 seconds into the game. He also fumbled twice in the second quarter, leading to further Indiana scores.
Moore acknowledged his role in the defeat, stating, "You can't win football games if you're causing turnovers." Indiana's defense, known for its disguises and pressure, made it challenging for Oregon to establish a rhythm, resulting in a lopsided halftime score of 35-7. The Ducks' offense managed only 285 passing yards and struggled on the ground as well.
Following the game, Moore's future with the Oregon Ducks and his potential entry into the NFL Draft remain uncertain. He expressed a desire to focus on his teammates and the present moment before making any decisions, indicating he will consult with coach Dan Lanning and his family.
