Ducks get offensive reinforcements for Minnesota matchup despite injury to Dakorien Moore
on friday, Oregon football against their Big Ten rival, Minnesota, looking for their 9th win of the year. Still, they will and still be without VR Dakorien Moore due to a recent knee injury.
However, the Ducks are getting back in line with the return of TE Kenyon Sadik and OT Alex Harkey, per Bruce Feldman of the Athletics. Last weekend, Sadik and Harki did not play against Iowa along with Moore.
More precisely, Sadik was out of the field due to hip and ankle problems. Meanwhile, Harkey was sidelined with a twisted ankle. Sadik is a junior tight end who has accumulated 311 receiving yards along with five touchdowns and twenty-two receptions. In contrast, Harkey is a senior OT who transferred from the University of Colorado.
Before Friday, Oregon was ranked No. 9 in the country with an 8-1 record. Meanwhile, the Ducks are 5-1 in their second full season in the Big Ten Conference.
They aim to maintain their top ranking and finish the season strong in their quest for a national championship. Last year, Oregon finished 13-1 and 9-0 in conference play. In January, ducks lost to Ohio State in the Rose Bowl, 41-21.
Oregon remains one of the best offensive teams in the country.
In almost every major offensive category, Oregon is a top-10 team. So far, they are seventh in scoring offense (38.7 PPG) and sixth in rushing offense (239.7 IPG).
Outside of that, the Ducks are 13th in total offense (471.6 IPG). Additionally, they rank second in the nation in offensive plays of 20+ yards. One notable difference is that they rank 56th in red zone offense with an 86.5% conversion rate.
Still, the Ducks remain a powerful force to be reckoned with as the season reaches a tipping point.
