Key Points:

  • Oregon's leading rusher Noah Whittington is a game-time decision for the College Football Playoff semifinal against Indiana due to an undisclosed injury.
  • The Ducks face depth issues at running back, with second-leading rusher Jordon Davison sidelined by an upper body injury.
  • Oregon has shifted two defensive players, safety Kilohana Haasenritter and linebacker Brayden Platt, to tailback as a contingency plan.
  • If Whittington cannot play, freshman Dierre Hill Jr., who has 570 yards on 70 carries, is expected to carry the workload.
  • Other running backs Jayden Limar and Jay Harris are in the transfer portal, with Harris still on the team and available as a backup
