Oregon won the 2024 Big Ten title at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis last season, 45-37. Incoming senior Penn State quarterback Drew Allar threw 20-for-39 completions, 226 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions, while his senior counterpart, running back Nicholas Singleton, rushed for 105 yards on 10 carries. The returning duo for coach James Franklin's offense is more hungry than ever for a national championship after reaching the College Football Playoff semifinals in 2024.

Oregon's Kenyon Sadiq had his national breakout performance on the massive stage, catching two touchdowns on just two receptions for 30 yards. One included a memorable hurdle over now Tennessee Titans cornerback Jalen Kimber that led to Sadiq reaching the end zone.

Sadiq looks to be redshirt quarterback Dante Moore's most reliable target on a drive-by-drive basis after the knee injury to senior wide receiver Evan Stewart. His torn patellar tendon could keep him sidelined for the entirety of the 2025 campaign.

Names to pay attention to help pick up the slack on the outside for the coach Dan Lanning's offense should be incoming five-star recruit Dakorien Moore, redshirt sophomore Jurrion Dickey (who's looking for his first true opportunity in Eugene), and senior transfer Malik Benson. After stops with Hutchinson Community College in Kansas, the Alabama Crimson Tide, and the Florida State Seminoles, this looks to be Benson's last shot in the college ranks.
