Oregon Duck fans react to CFP blowout win over James Madison Dukes
NCAAF College Football News, Photos, Stats, Scores, Schedule & Videos...
Oregon Duck fans had an idea going into this game against the James Madison Dukes in the first round of the College Football Playoff that the final score wasn't going to be close. It didn't take long for that idea to be verified.
The Ducks jumped all over the Dukes early in this game, completely dominating from the opening kick to the tune of a 51-34 blowout. The offense clicked on all cylinders and eviscerated the James Madison defense to the tune of 34 first-half points and 519 total yards.
James Madison was able to find a lot of offensive success in the second half once the Ducks pulled their starters, but this game was never in doubt from the very beginning.
Dante Moore was electric, the defense was incredibly stout, and it was a fun night in Autzen Stadium for the final time in the 2025 season.
Unsurprisingly, Duck fans had a great time on social media throughout the night, celebrating Dan Lanning's first College Football Playoff victory. Here's a look at some of the best reactions from the night:

How's That for a Start?
Dante Moore keeps it for a TD.
Through 2 drives, Oregon has:
9 plays

Is That Allowed?
The only way JMU is containing Oregon's runners tonight is if it plays with 22 players on the field

The Numbers Lied
There were plenty of things I found "difficult" to preview for this game and number one was the JMU defensive numbers. Absolutely a great defense against the schedule they played this season. But yea, just not going to scale tonight. 9 plays, 143 yards and two touchdowns for…

Geoff Feels Bad
I low key feel bad for JMU. Amazing season and it’s going to end like this. I know it’s an awesome experience for the two weeks before the game and for the overall program.

This Is The Way
I’ve said it since the 12 team playoff was created:
The 5 seed is the best spot in the bracket.
