This defensive unit has consistently put pressure on opposing quarterbacks and limited rushing yards, proving to be a critical component of Oregon's game plan.


Offensive Highlights


On offense, quarterback Dillon Gabriel continues to impress with his precision passing and ability to lead scoring drives. Although touchdowns were hard to come by in their last outing against Wisconsin, Gabriel's leadership and decision-making have kept Oregon competitive in tight games. The running game also remains a vital part of the Ducks' offense, with Jordan James leading the charge on the ground.
