Sixth-ranked Oregon secured another victory, defeating Michigan State 31-10 and maintaining their undefeated record. The win sets the stage for an eagerly anticipated matchup against third-ranked Ohio State next weekend.

Quarterback Dillon Gabriel played a pivotal role in Oregon's victory, throwing two touchdown passes and rushing for another. Running back Jordan James also had a standout performance, accumulating a career-high 166 rushing yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver Tez Johnson contributed with 10 receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown.

Despite a strong offensive showing from Oregon, the game saw its fair share of turnovers and missed opportunities on both sides. Michigan State struggled in the red zone, with quarterback Aidan Chiles committing crucial turnovers, including a fumble at the goal line.

Oregon's defense also made significant contributions, with Jordan Burch recording 2.5 sacks and a fumble recovery. The Ducks showcased a special yellow Nike uniform, designed by Coach Dan Lanning's family to honor cancer survivors.
