The matchup between Idaho and No. 3 Oregon in college football was expected to be a blowout, with the Ducks heavily favored to win by a large margin. However, Idaho put up a strong fight and came close to pulling off a major upset before ultimately falling to Oregon 24-14.

Despite being outgained in yards by the Ducks, Idaho’s defense proved to be a formidable opponent, limiting Oregon’s offense and sacking quarterback Dillon Gabriel three times. Oregon coach Dan Lanning acknowledged that Idaho’s game plan was effective in containing his team and forcing them to work for the win.

The game highlighted the changing landscape of college football, particularly in terms of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals. Oregon, with its strong financial backing from booster Phil Knight, is seen as a leader in NIL opportunities for student-athletes. On the other hand, Idaho lost several key players to FBS programs that offered lucrative NIL deals, impacting their performance against Oregon.

Idaho coach Jason Eck expressed the challenges of retaining top talent in the face of NIL incentives from larger programs. He emphasized the importance of developing players and encouraging them to consider staying at Idaho for longer-term benefits, rather than seeking immediate financial gain elsewhere.

The game also showcased the talent and potential of Idaho’s players, some of whom may attract interest from FBS programs following their performance against Oregon. Eck and his coaching staff are focused on helping players navigate their options and make informed decisions about their future in college football.

Overall, the game between Idaho and Oregon highlighted the complexities of college football in the NIL era, where smaller programs like Idaho must compete with larger programs for talent while balancing the needs and aspirations of their student-athletes. Idaho’s performance against Oregon demonstrated their potential and resilience as a developing program in the evolving landscape of college athletics.
