For the majority of the season, Oregon’s run defense has been strong, especially in its victory over Ohio State. Prior to their Rose Bowl rematch with the Buckeyes, the No. 1 Ducks have been concentrating on making amends after suffering their worst performance against the run in Dan Lanning’s tenure.
Oregon defeated Penn State in the Big Ten championship game, giving up 292 rushing yards and two touchdowns on just 35 runs. It was UO’s highest running yard total since the Alamo Bowl in 2021 and their most yards per carry since the 2016 game against Washington.
