**Oregon Ducks Mascot’s Hilarious Mishap During Game Against Montana State**
The Oregon Ducks’ mascot experienced an unexpected mishap during the team’s game against Montana State on Saturday night, losing its head in a comical moment that quickly went viral. As the Oregon Duck made its entrance onto the field alongside the cheerleading and dance squads, it tripped in the end zone, causing its head to pop off. In a humorous display, the headless mascot hurried back toward the tunnel while covering its face.
Fortunately, the mascot returned to the field moments later with its head securely back in place, much to the delight of fans. This wasn’t the first time the Oregon Duck faced a wardrobe malfunction; a similar incident occurred last season when it tripped on the road at Purdue.
Despite the mascot’s fall, the No. 7-ranked Ducks had a stellar performance, defeating Montana State with a commanding score of 59-13. Oregon dominated the game, scoring 17 points in the first quarter and adding 21 more in the second. Quarterback Dante Moore completed 18 of 23 passes for 213 yards and three touchdowns, while Jordon Davison contributed three rushing touchdowns. Additionally, Noah Whittington and Jayden Limar each added a rushing touchdown, and ten different Ducks receivers recorded at least one catch.
Last season, the Ducks finished with an impressive 13-1 record and made a strong run in the College Football Playoff, defeating notable teams like Ohio State, Illinois, and Penn State, although they faced a setback against the Buckeyes in the Rose Bowl.
As the Ducks continue their season, fans will undoubtedly be watching for more exciting plays—and perhaps a few more mascot antics.
