Montana State OBLITERATED in Oregon SLAUGHTERFEST ๐Ÿ’ฃ Season Opener or SACRIFICIAL RITUAL?

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and all the poor Montana State fans who are currently hiding under blankets pretending Saturday never happenedโ€”letโ€™s talk about the crime scene that was Oregon vs.

Montana State.

Because what unfolded on that football field wasnโ€™t just a college football game.

No.

It was a cinematic massacre.

It was a live-action cartoon.

It was the type of event that makes you wonder if the NCAA should start investigating cruelty laws against underdogs.

 

No. 7 Oregon routs Montana State 59-13 in the season opener

Oregon, ranked No. 7, opened their season by treating Montana State not like a football team, but like an all-you-can-eat buffet, scoring on their first nine possessions as if they had something deeply personal against every blade of grass in Bozeman.

The final score? Ducks 59, Bobcats 13.

Thatโ€™s not a football score.

Thatโ€™s a ransom note.

Thatโ€™s a TikTok challenge gone too far.

Thatโ€™s the equivalent of inviting someone to dinner and then making them pay for the meal, wash the dishes, and clean your gutters before leaving.

Now, letโ€™s break this down like the postmortem it deserves.

The Ducks came in hot, probably sipping kale smoothies and whispering affirmations about domination, while Montana State looked like they showed up because someone accidentally sent them the wrong Google Calendar invite.

By the end of the first quarter, fans were already Googling โ€œIs it legal to forfeit a game mid-play?โ€ and โ€œCan you sue for emotional damages after a blowout?โ€

Oregon marched down the field again and again, slicing through Montana Stateโ€™s defense like a hot knife through butterโ€”or, more accurately, like a buzzsaw through tissue paper.

One sportswriter described it as โ€œan offensive clinic. โ€

Another simply said, โ€œSend thoughts and prayers. โ€

The Bobcats, bless their optimistic little hearts, did manage to put 13 points on the board, which weโ€™ll politely call โ€œparticipation trophies. โ€

Honestly, it felt like Oregon let them score just to avoid criminal charges for excessive bullying.

โ€œIt was like when your older brother lets you win one game of Mario Kart so you donโ€™t cry,โ€ one fan said on X (formerly Twitter).

The Bobcatsโ€™ touchdown celebrations were enthusiastic, but they felt like the equivalent of screaming โ€œI found a penny!โ€ in the middle of a house fire.

But Oregon wasnโ€™t just good.

They were obnoxiously good.

Every possession was like a Broadway productionโ€”precision passing, lightning-fast runs, and an attitude that screamed, โ€œWe know you canโ€™t stop us, and frankly, weโ€™re kind of bored.

โ€ Their quarterback barely broke a sweat, their wide receivers looked like they were auditioning for Cirque du Soleil with the acrobatics, and the offensive line looked like a brick wall that had been taking steroids.

Montana State, meanwhile, had โ€œthat look. โ€

You know the look.

The one where the players are pretending to listen to the coachโ€™s pep talk but are secretly calculating how much laundry theyโ€™ll need to do after this disaster.

By halftime, fans were already filing out of the stadium in search of stiff drinks and spiritual counseling.

Reports suggest that one Montana State fan was seen offering his season tickets to a random passerby in exchange for โ€œliterally anything else.โ€

And letโ€™s talk about the stats, because they read like the diary of a Ducks fan with a superiority complex.

Oregon scored touchdowns like Oprah giving out carsโ€”โ€œYou get a touchdown! You get a touchdown! Everybody gets a touchdown!โ€ The Ducks offense racked up nearly 600 yards, while Montana Stateโ€™s defense resembled an open barn door.

The Bobcatsโ€™ offense tried, but every time they found momentum, Oregonโ€™s defense shut them down faster than a bouncer rejecting a fake ID.

Naturally, Twitter/X exploded with sarcasm.

โ€œOregon just scored again, and Iโ€™m not even sure the gameโ€™s still happening,โ€ one fan wrote.

Another posted: โ€œBreaking: Montana Stateโ€™s defense has been located in the parking lot, still looking for the end zone. โ€

One Oregon supporter tweeted a photo of a duck holding a fork and knife with the caption, โ€œDinner is served. โ€

Even neutral fans couldnโ€™t help themselves.

ESPNโ€™s highlight reel had to be edited down for viewer sensitivity.

Now, hereโ€™s where it gets even juicier: some critics are calling this the most unnecessary flex in college football history.

Did Oregon really need to keep their starters in for so long? Was it necessary to crush Montana State so thoroughly that therapists in Bozeman are now booking extra appointments? One fake โ€œexpert,โ€ Dr. Linda Touchdown of the Institute for Sports Overkill, told us, โ€œGames like this can cause generational trauma.

Somewhere in Montana, a kid just decided to switch from football to competitive chess.

The ripple effects are enormous. โ€

Meanwhile, Oregon fans are already printing T-shirts that say โ€œ59-13โ€ and selling them outside Autzen Stadium for $39. 99.

Rumors are flying that Ducks boosters are considering hiring a marching band just to play โ€œWeโ€™re So Much Better Than Youโ€ on repeat during their next home game.

This isnโ€™t confidenceโ€”itโ€™s performance art.

But letโ€™s not let Montana State off the hook completely.

The Bobcats knew what they were walking into.

They knew they were facing a Top 10 powerhouse.

Yet, they marched into the stadium with hope in their eyes and pep in their step, like a contestant on The Bachelor who actually thinks theyโ€™re there for love.

One analyst put it best: โ€œMontana State went into this game like it was a romantic comedy.

Oregon reminded them it was actually a horror movie. โ€

And the real kicker? Montana State has to face South Dakota State next weekโ€”an FCS juggernaut that isnโ€™t known for mercy either.

Translation: the Bobcats are basically running from one hurricane straight into another.

If they survive September, someone better give them a medal, or at least a really long vacation.

Still, thereโ€™s something admirable about Montana Stateโ€™s spirit.

They kept playing.

They didnโ€™t pack up their helmets and sneak out the back gate.

They stood there, absorbing blow after blow, touchdown after touchdown, humiliation after humiliation, like reality TV stars who know theyโ€™re about to be roasted but still show up for the reunion episode.

In a strange way, thatโ€™s courage.

Or insanity.

Maybe both.

 

Oregon 59-13 Montana State (Aug 30, 2025) Game Recap - ESPN

By the fourth quarter, Oregonโ€™s backups were in, yet the scoreboard still ticked like a broken slot machine.

Fans began placing bets on whether the Ducks could hit 70, while Montana State supporters clung to the moral victory of โ€œat least it wasnโ€™t a shutout. โ€

Honestly, thatโ€™s where we are with this: finding comfort in the crumbs left behind at Oregonโ€™s feast.

In the end, the Ducks strutted off the field like kings, their feathers practically glowing, while the Bobcats quietly shuffled away, already planning their next therapy session.

Oregonโ€™s dominance was undeniable, but so was the absurdity of watching two teams that clearly belonged in different galaxies trying to share a football field.

So, whatโ€™s the lesson here? For Oregon, itโ€™s business as usual: domination, swagger, and dreams of a playoff berth.

For Montana State, itโ€™s a harsh reality check: sometimes youโ€™re not David facing Goliath.

Sometimes youโ€™re just a house cat standing in front of a freight train.

And for the rest of us? Itโ€™s a reminder of why we watch college football.

For the chaos.

For the drama.

For the chance to say, โ€œWow, at least my team didnโ€™t lose by 46. โ€

Because at the end of the day, Saturday wasnโ€™t just Oregonโ€™s season opener.

It was a wake-up call.

A spectacle.

A televised beatdown that will live in the nightmares of Montana State fans for years.

And if nothing else, it gave us all one undeniable truth: when Ducks attack, no one is safeโ€”not even Bobcats.
