Oregon's Gage Hurych crowned Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week

Oregon’s special teams unit delivered a standout performance in a hard-fought 17-14 victory over Nebraska on Saturday night, earning the team’s first win of the season at 4-2. The Ducks overcame a sluggish offensive start and a late defensive struggle, with quarterback Dylan Raiola stepping in off the bench to orchestrate the game-winning drive.

Nebraska, now on a two-game losing streak, fell victim to Oregon’s resilience after leading 7-0 at halftime, marking another painful defeat in a season that has seen inconsistent results. The win also highlighted the emergence of Oregon’s special teams, with Gage Hurych earning Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week honors for his contributions to the Ducks’ late-game momentum.

Head coach Dan Lanning praised Raiola’s clutch performance, though the team’s broader offensive challenges remain a concern as they stay in contention for a College Football Playoff berth.
