No. 8 Oregon Prepares for Minnesota's Elite Pass Rush in Friday Matchup
Minnesota leads the Big Ten with 32 sacks in nine games, challenging Oregon’s potentially injury-depleted offense at Autzen Stadium Friday night.
- On Friday, Nov. 14, Oregon hosts Minnesota at Autzen Stadium, with Oregon having gained a CFP ranking spot Tuesday.
- Minnesota Golden Gophers enter Friday averaging 3.56 sacks per game, ranking fourth nationally, with 32 sacks in nine games and 12 players with sacks this season.
- Anthony Smith, who leads the Big Ten with 8.5 sacks, while Dante Moore has attempted just 56 passes over the last three games and trusts his line against the `huge` and `very powerful` front.
- Oregon could enter Friday shorthanded with Dakorien Moore, Keyon Sadiq, Alex Harkey, or Devon Jackson working back from injuries, and if Moore and Gary Bryant Jr. can't play, only four healthy scholarship receivers with 48 catches remain.
- Oregon's CFP hopes make Friday's game meaningful beyond a single result as their Tuesday ranking bump boosts Big Ten title implications in the first matchup since Oregon joined the Big Ten.
