Usual suspects give Oregon massive halftime lead over JMU in CFP first round
Dante Moore, 2025 College Football Playoff First Round Game - James Madison v Oregon | Tom Hauck/GettyImagesJust 30 minutes into the Ducks' first game of the postseason, Oregon looked as dominant as it had all season, and it was the usual suspects (barring a few missing pieces due to injury) leading the way.
With a 34-6 lead at halftime, the Oregon Ducks looked exactly like the No. 5 team in the country, if not a few spots better.
Quarterback Dante Moore, running back Dierre Hill Jr., and the linebacker duo of Bryce Boettcher and Dillon Thieneman were the names repeatedly popping up. Surprised? You shouldn't be.
