Oregon’s Evan Stewart remains doubtful for Nebraska clash

Oregon wide receiver Evan Stewart is expected to sit out Saturday's matchup against Nebraska, a significant blow to the Ducks' offensive depth as they seek to protect their playoff aspirations. The team currently holds a 3-2 record, and Stewart's absence removes their top target, who has accumulated 27 receptions for 352 yards and four touchdowns this season.

His production stands out clearly, as he leads the squad by 41 receiving yards over Dakorien Moore, the next most productive pass catcher who also has four scores on the board.

The game arrives at a critical juncture for Oregon, with quarterback Dylan Raiola and Brock Thomas competing for the starting role. Raiola, who previously spent two seasons with the Cornhuskers, amassed nearly 5,000 passing yards and over 50 touchdowns during his time in Lincoln before transferring to pursue different developmental goals.

With Stewart likely unavailable, the Ducks will need to rely on their defensive capabilities to counter Nebraska's offense, as their passing attack may lack the necessary firepower to win a shootout without their leading receiver.
