Boise State's 'Shout' dance fires up Oregon before rivalry win

Boise State players danced to Oregon’s longtime “Shout” tradition at Autzen Stadium with the game tied 24-24, using the celebration as an attempt to loosen up and steal energy from the home crowd. Oregon players viewed the move as unusual and somewhat disrespectful, though quarterback Dante Moore acknowledged the Ducks had used a similar tactic while dancing to Wisconsin’s “Jump Around” tradition in 2024. The gesture appeared to motivate Oregon, which overcame a sloppy, penalty-filled performance to defeat Boise State 34-27. Dante Moore then delivered the decisive play, connecting with Dakorien Moore for a 62-yard touchdown after the teams exchanged fourth-quarter field goals. Boise State coach Spencer Danielson said his team had been playing “Shout” at practice for weeks as fourth-quarter inspiration.
