Oregon football vs. Michigan State score today: Live updates ...

After back-to-back strong performances, including a dominant 34-13 win in its Big Ten opener against UCLA, the No. 6 Oregon football team will head back home to take on Michigan State in Friday at Autzen Stadium.

The Ducks (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) will look to continue their unbeaten start to the season against a Spartans (3-2, 1-1 Big Ten) squad fresh off a humbling loss to Ohio State last weekend. The game will kickoff at 6 p.m. locally.

"Quick turnaround," Oregon coach Dan Lanning said. "But guys are attacking it really well, certainly excited to get back in front of our fans. Been a while since we've been here, so getting in front of Autzen will be quite the challenge and a good opportunity for us to see where we've improved and continue to get better."

Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel threw his second interception of the game and the second with the Ducks on the verge of a score. This one was picked by Charles Brantley at the MSU 2-yard-line. In the first quarter, Gabriel was intercepted in the end zone.

After red-zone turnovers by both teams, the Ducks scored at the end of the quarter to take the lead. The Spartans have the ball at the Oregon 38 when the second quarter begins.

Dillon Gabriel scored on a 9-yard run as the Ducks put the first points of the game on the board with :22 to play in the first quarter. The TD came three plays after Gabriel returned to the game.

Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel appeared to get injured following a 37-yard pass to Traeshon Holden. After releasing the ball, Gabriel was blasted by MSU defensive lineman Anthony Jones. Gabriel left for one play and was replaced by Dante Moore.

Jamaree Caldwell punched the ball free from Michigan State QB Aidan Chiles at the Oregon 1-yard line and then Jordan Burch recovered the loose ball for the touchback. The play came right after the Spartans had converted on fourth down with a 44-yard pass from Chiles to Nick Marsh that put the ball at the Oregon 2.

The Ducks took a big shot on the first play with Dillon Gabriel throwing a deep ball to Tez Johnson that was off the mark and Oregon punted two plays later.

Michigan State won the toss and has elected to defer to the second half. Oregon will receive the opening kickoff.

The captains for Oregon were former Michigan State player defensive tackle Derrick Harmon, safety Tysheem Johnson and offensive linemen Marcus Harper and Iapani Laloulu.

The Ducks' uniforms for Friday's game was designed by coach Dan Lanning's family and is dedicated to showing support for those who have battled cancer and raising awareness for a cure.

Lanning's wife Sauphia completed treatment for bone cancer in 2017 and helped design the uniform with their three sons, Caden, Kniles and Titan.

Now, in his final season as a Duck after a two-sport career at Oregon, the stats, the success and the recognition have arrived.

The confidence has always been there for Bryce Boettcher.

The senior inside linebacker, whose future in professional baseball is temporarily on hold, has become a cornerstone of the Ducks' defense this fall.

The South Eugene High School graduate has started three games this season and leads the team in tackles with 28 – 10 more than anyone else. Last week in a 34-13 win against UCLA he had his first career interception.

"It's incredible," Boettcher said Tuesday after No. 6 Oregon's morning practice ahead of Friday's 6 p.m. game against Michigan State in Autzen Stadium.

As expected, wide receiver Gary Bryant Jr. and offensive lineman Matthew Bedford have been listed as out for Friday's game on the official Big Ten Availability Report.

There were a couple surprises among the nine players listed as out. Reserve wide receiver Kyler Kasper and reserve defensive back Khamari Terrell will also miss the game. Both played against UCLA last week.

Also out are defensive backs Jahlil Florence, Dakoda Fields and Zach Grisham, offensive lineman Dave Iuli and defensive lineman My'Keil Gardner.

Reserve cornerback Sione Laulea was listed as questionable.
