Where Oregon's defense, special teams rank statistically after Week 4

Following a weekend where the Oregon offense put up forty-one points behind backup signal-caller Dylan Raiola and two standout rushers to defeat the USC Trojans, attention has turned toward how the defensive and special teams units stand statistically through four weeks of college football. Oregon held the opposition to twenty-seven total points—sixteen beneath their yearly average—while specialists Gage Hurych and Bailey Ettridge contributed strong performances in Los Angeles.

Statistically, the defensive unit currently sits at seventy-second overall in scoring defense by allowing 23.3 points per game, alongside a notable third-down conversion percentage of 21.2% that ranks third nationally. The squad has secured seven total sacks, forced seven turnovers, and allowed an average of 113 rushing yards per contest, whereas special teams figures show an average kickoff return yardage of 16.3 and a punt return defense that gives up just three yards per opposing return.
