Get that coffee ready this morning and check out these photos of the No. 7 Oregon Ducks as Oregon kicker Atticus Sappington sinks a last-second 25-yard field goal to secure the win.

The Ducks outlasted the Boise State Broncos, 37-34, on Saturday night at Autzen Stadium to extend their league-leading non-conference home winning streak to 34 games. The kick secured Oregon’s first-ever victory over Boise State (fourth meeting).

Sappington’s game-winning field goal just before time expired was Oregon’s first walk-off field goal since Camden Lewis made a 26-yard attempt against Washington State on Oct. 26, 2019.

The Ducks are now 14-1 under Oregon coach Dan Lanning at home.

“We like to sweat here, I guess,” Lanning said after the win. “That was a close game. Kudos to Boise State, they played a great game. They created some takeaways. Normally when you have two takeaways, you don’t have a chance to win that game. I think the difference tonight was the special teams. The big punt return and kickoff return were really crucial in this game.

“When he missed the extra point, I told Atticus (Sappington) early on that he was going to have a chance to score again for this team and that it was going to make the difference for us, and it did, so I’m really proud of him,” Lanning continued.

Oregon’s special teams shined in the win over Boise State.

Oregon receiver and returner Tez Johnson shined on special teams, returning a punt for 85 yards and a touchdown in the third quarter. It was the first Oregon punt returned for a touchdown since 2018.

To add to the insanity, running back Noah Whittington fired in a 100-yard kickoff return. However, Whittington dropped the ball before it entered the end zone. So, technically, it was a 99-yard kick return by Whittington that resulted in a touchdown (fumble recovered by running back Jayden Limar in end zone) in the fourth quarter to tie the game, 34-34.

“First anger,” Coach Lanning said of the dropped ball. “Anger and then relief when I found out who picked it up.”

“We’re going to keep building on that,” Lanning said. “Obviously a great play by Noah (Whittington). I think you’re going to see some unbelievable blocks, tension and effort. We talk about how explosive plays come from that. In the same vein, we had a penalty on a kickoff return that really hurt us. I’m curious to see what those look like and how I can build on that, but when you have dynamic returners, I think they can really make things special for you.”

This week, Oregon travels to Corvallis, Oregon to take on a familiar opponent: the Oregon State Beavers on Saturday, September 14th at 12:30pm PT.
