Oregon Ducks Injury Report: Final look at player's status heading into Week 2 vs. Texas Tech The Oregon Ducks’ Week 1 game against the Portland State Vikings brought about more questions than it did answers when it comes to the player availability front. While there were some expected absences, like for Nishad Strother, Jestin Jacobs, and Casey Kelly, a handful of other players also sat out, be it for injury reasons or something else. Fortunately, we were able to get a good idea of who is available and who is not by watching a couple of practices this week in Eugene. Most of the players who missed Saturday’s game were back at practice this week, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they will be ready to play down in Lubbock against the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

Coveted Edge Rusher Solomon Williams Locks in Oregon Official Visit Oregon's 2024 recruiting class is getting tight on space following the commitment of Brayden Platt earlier this week.

Dan Lanning details challenges that Texas Tech's offense and defense present Since he was hired in early 2022, it’s been clear that Dan Lanning likes to keep most things close to the vest and out of the media. There is nothing wrong with that approach. There is a legitimate argument that everything a head coach has to say about football should be proprietary. However, after the Saturday game against Portland State, Lanning shared more than he typically does about how he and the rest of the coaches are examining and approaching Texas Tech, offensively and defensively. One thing Lanning mentions about Texas Tech’s offense is its quick pace.

2024 Oregon Target Picks up New Recruiting Prediction Jason Brown Jr. is one of Oregon's top running back targets in 2024 and could be trending away from the Ducks. But that may not be a bad thing. The Ducks love what they have in Riggs this cycle and I don't think there's much question that they want another back. However, with numbers getting tight at 23 verbal commitments, Carlos Locklyn and the coaching staff will likely need to decide if they want that running back to come from the high school ranks or the transfer portal.

The A-Bomb: Can we relax yet about our backup quarterbacks? No. We saw some flashes of potential Saturday, but we need to see a lot more. On its first offensive possession of the season Saturday, Oregon marched down the field and scored on a pass from Bo Nix to his favorite target Troy Franklin. Then, the Ducks did something we haven’t seen in a while, and went for two on a test alignment. They got it. It was only 8-0, but the game was already over. Oregon scored like they were playing a basketball game, and the final of 81-7 was almost kind of…mean? I’m not totally sure. I am a proud UO alum who bleeds green and yellow, but I got my post-bac degree at Portland State, and I know how much they struggle to push their athletics. I felt a little bad for them. If nothing else, the preposterous spread allowed Oregon to give Nix a rest and for backup QBs Ty Thompson and Austin Novosad to see some game time. They did well…very well. Thompson was 7-for-8 for 81 yards and a touchdown and Novosad was 3-for-3 for 13 yards. Both looked poised and crisp. But it was against Portland State.

5 Texas Tech players for Oregon fans to know ahead of Saturday's matchup There’s an interesting set of expectations that are presenting themselves for Oregon Ducks fans as they head into Week 2 of the season against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Because of the results in Week 1 — a lopsided victory for Oregon against a bad team, and a disappointing double-overtime loss to an average team for Texas Tech — it’s hard to predict what we may see in Lubbock this weekend. There’s a chance that the Red Raiders come out firing, knowing that they need to do anything they can in order to avoid an 0-2 start.

While it’s impossible to predict the outcome, we do know that there are a number of players on the Texas Tech roster that Duck fans need to pay attention to going into the game.

QUAAAACK: Four-star LB Brayden Platt commits to Oregon over Oklahoma Oregon's top-10 2024 recruiting class grew by one more Monday, and it was a commitment that was a long time in the making. Four-star linebacker Brayden Platt announced his choice of the Ducks over Oklahoma on Labor Day giving Dan Lanning's defense its third four-star commit at the position in the cycle. Platt built an impressive offer list throughout his recruitment with many of the top programs from around the country pursuing the 6-foot-2 senior from Yelm, Washington. Ultimately, he narrowed his choices to the Ducks and Sooners, and now he will be staying close to home to play for Oregon as the program prepares to move to the Big Ten next year. That conference move could be a perfect fit for the 245-pound Platt, who had already been examining options in that league before Oregon announced its move. Platt's previous top list included programs such as UCLA, USC and Michigan among several others from around the country. I am not sure Ducks would've gotten Platt without going to the B1G!
