Originally reported by Oregon Ducks On SI.

Oregon Ducks Move On From Loss

The No. 21 Oregon Ducks are moving on from a shocking 39-31 road loss to the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

Ducks Target Bounce-Back Game

Coach Dan Lanning and crew's sights now set on a potential bounce-back game against the FCS Portland State Vikings at Autzen Stadium.

Oregon Athletes' Stock Rises

Oregon athletes saw their stock rise despite an overall troubling performance during a Friday Night Lights game.

Devon Jackson Shines

Devon Jackson Shines

Veteran inside linebacker Devon Jackson ran down Cowboys' quarterback Drew Mestemaker to prevent an early touchdown.

Jackson's Pick Six

Jackson followed with an electric 96-yard pick six showing off his untouchable speed.

Jackson's Tackles Lead Team

Jackson ended the match-up as the No. 2 on the team for total tackles (7) and continued to pressure Mestemaker and the Cowboys' offense.

Lanning Admits Shortcomings

Without Jackson and senior edge rusher Matayo Uiagalelei's defensive touchdowns, the Ducks would've been in far worse shape.

Gage Hurych Proves Consistent

Junior kicker Gage Hurych has so far proved he's a servicable successor to former Duck Atticus Sappington.

Hurych's Field Goal

Hurych took the field to punch in a 42-yard field goal which was his second longest kick of the season.

Messiah Hampton Steps Up

Freshman wide receiver Messiah Hampton stepped up to try and pump momentum into Oregon's offense.

Hampton's Performance

Hampton picked up three passes with 10.3 yards per catch, making him the No. 3 receiver on the team against the Cowboys.

Fox Crader's Struggles

Junior right tackle Fox Crader showed obvious mis-reads and getting beat off the block, particularly in the fourth quarter.

Crader's Role

Crader was the typical left tackle relief lineman during the 2.025 season, possibly not used to the right side.

Dante Moore's Struggles

Senior quarterback Dante Moore ended the game with a 48 percent completion rating in the air, going 14 for 29 with 191 yards and two touchdowns.

Moore's Inconsistency

Moore often overthrew passes to familiar targets, bringing up shades of how his pocket presence crumbled.

Bear Alexander's Role

Senior defensive lineman Bear Alexander stepped in after A'Mauri Washington's injury.

Alexander's Performance

Oklahoma State had success running the ball with 5.9 yards per rush play off 40 rushing attempts.

The main idea

Oregon Ducks' coach Dan Lanning and team focus on rebounding after a 39-31 loss to Oklahoma State Cowboys with key players like Devon Jackson and Gage Hurych performing well.
