WHAT’S AT STAKE?
Big Ten newcomer Oregon enters Friday night’s game ranked No. 2 and as one of the league’s three unbeaten teams. After leapfrogging No. 4 Ohio State with last weekend’s big win, the Ducks must be wary of looking past reeling Purdue. The Boilermakers have lost five straight but hope to build on the momentum gained in last week’s overtime loss.
KEY MATCHUP
Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel vs. Purdue’s pass defense. Gabriel has thrived in his first Big Ten season, throwing 13 TD passes and ranking 12th nationally in efficiency (169.28). While the Boilermakers have played better against the pass than the run, thanks in part to preseason All-American S Dillon Thieneman, only three teams yield more yards per completion than Purdue (15.02).
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Oregon: WR Traeshon Holden. The transfer from Alabama has been one of the Ducks’ key player this season, but he’s in the spotlight this week for all the wrong reasons. He watched the final three quarters of the big win over Ohio State after being ejected for spitting at an opponent and apologized for his actions on the social platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
Purdue: QB Ryan Browne. The second-year quarterback gave the Boilermakers a spark in his starting debut at Illinois, first taking advantage of his legs and then using the running threat to open up things in the passing game. It was so promising, coach Ryan Walters named him this week’s starter Monday, — even if Hudson Card is cleared through the concussion protocol.
