Oregon Ducks Football: Everything You Need to Know

A Look Ahead: Oregon Ducks Football's Journey to the College Football Playoff

After a historic 2022 season, the Oregon Ducks football team is poised for another successful year. With a talented roster and a favourable schedule, the Ducks are aiming for a berth in the College Football Playoff.

Key Players to Watch

* Bo Nix: The quarterback is the heart of the Ducks' offence. In 2022, he threw for over 3,300 yards and 33 touchdowns. * Noah Sewell: A dynamic linebacker, Sewell had over 100 tackles and 5 sacks in 2022. * Troy Franklin: The wide receiver emerged as a star in 2022, catching 79 passes for over 1,000 yards.

Schedule Highlights

* September 2: Georgia Bulldogs: The Ducks face the defending national champions in their season opener. * September 9: Eastern Washington Eagles: A home game against a FCS opponent should provide an opportunity for the Ducks to tune up. * November 25: Oregon State Beavers: The annual Civil War rivalry game is always a highlight of the Ducks' season.

2023 College Football Playoff Outlook

The Ducks are currently ranked among the top 10 teams in the nation. If they can continue to play at a high level, they have a good chance of qualifying for the College Football Playoff.

Rivalry Renewed: Oregon Ducks Set to Face Ohio State Buckeyes in a Top-10 Matchup

The Oregon Ducks will face their toughest test of the season when they travel to Columbus to take on the Ohio State Buckeyes on September 16. The Buckeyes are currently ranked No. 2 in the nation and are considered one of the favourites to win the national championship.

Key Stats

* The Buckeyes have won 22 consecutive games at home. * Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud is considered one of the best players in the country. * The Ducks have a 2-4 record against Ohio State all-time.

What to Watch For

* Can the Ducks defence contain Stroud and the Buckeyes' high-powered offence? * Will the Ducks be able to establish their running game against the Buckeyes' stout defence? * Will the home-field advantage be too much for the Ducks to overcome? This is a must-win game for the Ducks if they want to remain in contention for the College Football Playoff. A victory over Ohio State would send a strong message to the rest of the country that the Ducks are a legitimate contender for the national championship.
