Oregon Ducks Football: Player Rotations 2026 Season Weeks 1 & 2

The Oregon Ducks endured a painful 39-31 road upset against the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Week 2 action at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater on September 12, 2026. 5 points, head coach Dan Lanning and quarterback Dante Moore struggled to find momentum in the defeat, triggering a drop in the national AP rankings.

Amid the setback, multiple incoming transfers did manage to deliver standout individual stat lines.

Adding to the frustration, starting junior left guard Trent Ferguson suffered a serious knee injury during the game, with Lanning later announcing that the 6-foot-7, 322-pound lineman will be sidelined for the rest of the campaign. Oregon did receive a bit of positive health news as tight end Jamari Johnson continues to make progress ahead of the program's impending matchup with Portland State.
