Ducks Running Back Room Takes Major Hit

Oregon’s running back room has taken a major hit during this playoff run. In addition to losing Jayden Lamar and Makhi Hughes to the transfer portal, Oregon will also Davison due to injury. Additionally, running back Da'Jaun Riggs will be out.

Oregon will lean on senior Noah Whittington and true freshman Dierre Hill Jr. at the position. Also, running back Jay Harris who did enter the transfer portal, is not listed as out. This could mean that Harris could end up playing. A player can still play for their current team after entering the transfer portal.

The Oregon wide receiver room hasn't been healthy either. Evan Stewart will be out once again. He has not played yet this season. The good news for the Ducks is receivers Dakorien Moore and Gary Bryant Jr. look to be back in full swing of things after missing the end of the regular season with injuries.

Oregon is coming off a dominant 23-0 win over the Texas Tech Red Raiders in the Orange Bowl. The Ducks defense led the way, shutting out Texas Tech and allowing just 215 total yards.

The Ducks have not put themselves in a position to beat the only team that was able to beat them this season, Indiana. The Hoosiers beat Oregon 30-20 at Autzen Stadium back in October and has not lost a game all year long.

Indiana took down the Alabama Crimson Tide in impressive fashion in their last game, beating them 38-3 in the Rose Bowl.

Next Man Up Mentality

Throughout this season, Oregon has had to fill in for key injured players. As the playoff has gone on, not only has Oregon had to recover from injuries, but also players that have entered the portal. Ducks tight end Kenyon Sadiq spoke about this "next man up" mentality to reporters.

"All those things play a role, whether you like it or not. It's just really about focusing on what we have there. Lanning says that about every day in practice," Sadiq said. "There's going to be someone that shows up that hasn't all season. And that's so true. There will be someone in this game that has a great game.”
