When the Oregon Ducks host an FCS opponent early in the season, fans are almost conditioned to expect a blowout. However, when the FCS Idaho Vandals came to town to open the 2024 season in Eugene, they delivered a battle few experts could predict. The Ducks eventually separated themselves late in the game to escape with a 24-14 victory, but not before letting the Vandals keep it within one score late into the fourth quarter.
The poor offensive performance stood out on Fox college football analyst Joel Klatt’s radar, after predicting the Ducks to make the Big Ten Championship Game before the season started . After watching their close contest against the Vandals, Klatt says he has major concerns about the Ducks, especially their offensive line.

“The answer to me about ‘should we be concerned about Oregon?’ is yes,” Klatt said on Wednesday’s episode of “ The Joel Klatt Show ”. “I actually have major concerns.”
