Ducks Fall At Boise State

At Boise, Idaho:

In the regular season opener for both teams, #14 ranked Boise State knocked off Oregon for the second straight year, beating the 16th-rated (AP poll) Ducks 19-8 at home Thursday night. Broncos' quarterback Kellen Moore complete 19 of 29 pass attempts for 197 yards and a touchdown. After the game, Ducks running back LaGarrette Blount, who earlier predicted an Oregon beatdown of the hosts, punched Broncos' defensive end Byron Hout and had to be restrained from fans heckling him.

Not exactly an auspicious debut for Ducks new head football coach Chip Kelly, who had been Oregon offensive coordinator for the past two years.
