Portland State (0-3) at No. 21 Oregon (1-1) — Game Preview
Portland State (0-3) travels to Autzen Stadium on September 18, 2026 to take on No. 21 Oregon (1-1) in a non-conference matchup for the Ducks. Oregon enters the night ranked and playing at home, while the winless Vikings are still chasing their first win of the season.
Ducks quarterback Dante Moore has completed 42 of 66 passes for 569 yards and 5 touchdowns through two games. Portland State counters with Gabe Downing under center, who has thrown for 513 yards and 4 touchdowns on 54 of 91 attempts but has also thrown 2 interceptions, a number that will need to shrink against a ranked opponent.
Oregon running back Jordon Davison has carried the ball 20 times for 113 yards and 2 touchdowns, giving the Ducks a complementary ground threat, while Portland State’s Delon Thompson has piled up 186 yards on 49 carries. Both defensive fronts have gotten to the quarterback at least once, with Oregon’s Bear Alexander and Portland State’s Herbert Ware each logging a sack this season.

Players to Watch: Portland State vs. Oregon
Portland State Vikings
Gabe Downing — QB. Downing has completed 54 of 91 passes for 513 yards, 4 touchdowns and 2 interceptions this season. Cutting down on turnovers will be the key for Portland State’s starting quarterback against a ranked opponent.
Delon Thompson — RB. Carrying the load in Portland State’s backfield, Thompson has piled up 186 yards on 49 attempts. Leaning on the run game early could help the Vikings shorten the game against Oregon.
Herbert Ware — DT. Up front, Ware has already recorded a sack for Portland State this season. Generating interior pressure will be crucial against an Oregon offense that has moved the ball through the air.
Oregon Ducks
Dante Moore — QB. Moore has completed 42 of 66 passes for 569 yards and 5 touchdowns through Oregon’s first two games. His arm gives the Ducks a downfield threat that Portland State’s defense will have to respect all night.
Jordon Davison — RB. On the ground, Davison has turned 20 carries into 113 yards and 2 touchdowns for Oregon. A heavy dose of Davison could let the Ducks control the clock at home.
Bear Alexander — DL. From the interior, Alexander already has a sack this season for Oregon’s defensive line. His presence up front adds another obstacle for a Portland State offense still searching for its footing.
