For most of Saturday afternoon, Boise State treated one of college football’s most daunting stadiums with a suspicious lack of reverence.The Broncos led 17-14 at halftime and pulled even at 24 late in the third period. When “Shout” rolled through Autzen Stadium to usher in the fourth quarter, Boise State’s sideline — already feeling pretty good about its day — danced right along with it.Ducks quarterback Dante Moore noticed immediately.“It was funny that they did the Shout,” Moore said after Oregon’s 34-27 win. “It was a little weird.”

— B.J. Rains (@BJRains) September 5, 2026Moore recognized the strategy. Oregon had done essentially the same thing two years earlier at Wisconsin, when Ducks players danced along to Camp Randall’s “Jump Around” while trailing entering the fourth quarter. Oregon rallied to win that game 16-13.“I sure did,” Moore said when asked whether he thought about that Wisconsin trip during Boise State’s celebration. “Actually, they were just doing something that we’ve done before, and that’s just trying to flip your mind when you find a way to try to steal the juice from the crowd.”
