Ducks Seek Redemption Against Rutgers After Tough Loss to Hoosiers
19 Oct
Summary
- Oregon Ducks suffered first loss of season to Indiana Hoosiers
- Quarterback Dante Moore threw two interceptions, more than all season
- Ducks face unranked Rutgers Scarlet Knights in crucial matchup
On October 19th, 2025, the Oregon Ducks find themselves in an unfamiliar position—coming off their first loss of the season. The Ducks were handed a defeat by the Indiana Hoosiers, a game in which they looked overmatched for the first time all year. As a result, the Ducks have suffered a considerable slide in the national rankings.
However, the Ducks still have a chance to make it to the College Football Playoff, but everything they have been working towards starts this week against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Rutgers, along with the rest of the schools on Oregon's schedule, are currently unranked, so a strong finish to the season could still allow the Ducks to achieve their goals.
Quarterback Dante Moore, who had been stellar all season, threw two interceptions last week, more than he had thrown the entire rest of the season. He and the rest of the team will need to take better care of the ball and be better overall to get things back on track against Rutgers.
