Oregon Announces Dante Moore News Amid College Football Season

The No. 8 Oregon Ducks moved to 8-1 on the season with a win over the No. 20 Iowa Hawkeyes in Week 11.

It was a tough road game against a top-25 opponent, but Oregon snuck out a hard-fought 18-16 win.

Iowa took a one-point lead with less than two minutes remaining via a Mark Gronkowski rushing score, but Atticus Sappington nailed a 39-yard game-winning field goal.

Oregon quarterback Dante Moore went just 13-of-21 for 112 yards with no scores. This marked the second straight game where Moore was held without a touchdown pass, although the Ducks managed to win both games.
