This is a revenge game for the Oregon Ducks as they dropped a 37-32 decision to Boise St last season in their home stadium. Boise St torched the Ducks secondary passing for 386 yards. Boise St started quickly in their match up and went into the locker room up 24-6 at the half. Oregon’s longtime head coach Mike Bellotti has retired and the Chip Kelly era begins. Starting quarterback Jermiah Masoli hit on nearly 57% of his passes for 1744 yards, 13 touchdowns and 5 interceptions a year ago. With Jeremiah Johnson gone it will be LeGarrette Blount leading the Duck’s ground attack. Blount last season averaged 7.3 yards per carry and rushed for over 1000 yards. Oregon defeated Oklahoma St 42-31 in the Holiday Bowl last year. On the Boise St gone are running back Ian Johnson and receiver Jeremy Childs who had 72 receptions in 2008. Kellen Moore returns under center for the Boise St Broncos and is coming off a 2008 season where he complete 69.4% of his passes for 3486 yards, 25 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Moore playing as a freshman starting quarterback led the Broncos to victory at Oregon passing for 24 of 36 for 386 yards, 3 touchdowns and 1 interception. Moore must be licking his chops to get back at this Oregon secondary minus safety Patrick Chung who is trying to make the New England Patriots as the second pick in the second round of the 2009 NFL Draft.
