Madsen Shines But Blitz Hurts Boise | Oregon Ducks Football News

Maddux Madsen dazzled in Boise State’s opener against Oregon, throwing for 181 yards and three touchdowns with zero turnovers — earning high praise from the Ducks’ coach — but his performance unraveled under pressure, as Oregon’s blitz-heavy defense exposed his struggles when pressured. When given time, he was nearly flawless, completing 60% of his passes. Oregon adjusted at halftime, locking down Madsen’s mobility and forcing him out of rhythm, ultimately securing the win. Despite the loss, Boise State’s coach commended Madsen’s efficiency and the offensive line’s effort, while warning that their next test — Memphis, ranked No. 1 in sacks and tackles for loss — will be a true measuring stick for how well they protect their QB.
