Boise State's RB Duo vs Oregon | Oregon Ducks Football News

Boise State’s 2026 opener against top-ranked Oregon looks like a David vs. Goliath showdown — but don’t count the Broncos out. With just one player on ESPN’s preseason top 100, they’re heavy underdogs at Autzen Stadium. Yet their running back duo, Dylan Riley and Sire Gaines — both who turned down big NIL offers to stay — are shaping up as one of the West’s most explosive backfield tandems. Coach Spencer Danielson is raving about their all-around impact: strong rushing, solid pass protection, and even special teams contributions. Adding depth with Power Five transfers Juelz Goff and Harry Stewart III, Boise State’s ground game could be their secret weapon against Oregon’s stacked defense. It’s a tall order, but if this backfield delivers, it might just be the spark that lights up a surprise season-opening win.
