EUGENE — The No. 2 Oregon Ducks are back for the 2026 season opener at Autzen Stadium against the Boise State Broncos, and if the off-season hype is to be believed, Oregon fans are in for a ride.

The Ducks enter the season with several key veterans returning, including senior quarterback Dante Moore, senior center Iapani "Poncho" Laloulu, senior defensive linemen A'Mauri Washington and Bear Alexander, senior tight end Jamari Johnson, senior wide receiver Evan Stewart, and senior edge rushers Teitum Tuioti (who's facing his brother, sophomore Mana Tuioti on the Broncos) and Matayo Uiagalelei, among others.

There's also plenty of exciting newcomers, like Minnesota junior safety transfer Koi Perich, freshmen receivers Jalen Lott and Messiah Hampton, and a new-look special teams force with kicker Gage “Iceman” Hurych.

On the other side of the field, the Broncos are coming off three-straight Mountain West championships to conted in their first year of Pac-12 Conference play. Their go-to quarterback, fifth year senior Maddux Madsen, is likely to headline an offense that's still finding its rhythm after losing Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty.

“Obviously, we’re playing arguably the best team in the country,” Broncos coach Spencer Danielson said in his pregame press conference about the Ducks. Danielson said that the Broncos getting the chance to play the No. 2 team in the country is an "awesome moment" for college football.

According to Bronco Nation News writer B.J.

UNIFORMS

The Oregon Ducks will wear a combination of the "Generation O" "Mighty Oregon" and "Gang Green" uniforms for a classic green, yellow, and white look to match the "stripe-out" game theme and as an ode to the programs' right past.

DEPTH CHARTS

One of the storylines coming out during game week between the Broncos and the Ducks is the lack of releasing a depth chart. The Broncos originally promised a two-deep chart for their trip to Autzen Stadium. Upon finding out the Ducks would not be releasing their own depth chart, the Broncos reportedly changed their plans and opted to also not release their own charts.
