Former Oregon Star Terrance Ferguson Makes NFL Mark in Rams Win
Former Oregon Ducks tight end Terrance Ferguson got in the end zone for the first time in his young NFL career. The Los Angeles Rams rookie hauled in a 31-yard touchdown pass from Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford in their 35-7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.
The Los Angeles Rams selected tight end Terrance Ferguson in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Ferguson has not been involved too much in the passing game so far this season, but had his biggest reception in the Rams win over the Jaguars.
On a 4th down and 1 in the fourth quarter, Stafford went play-action and then reared back and delivered a perfect ball to a streaking Ferguson to bump the Rams lead up to 27-0. It was just second reception of the season for Ferguson, who now has two receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown. Check out the touchdown grab below.

It was a complete domination from the Rams, who stayed the whole week in Baltimore before flying across the pond to London the day before the game. The Rams were down star wide receiver Puka Nacua and that opened the door for other weapons to make plays, like Ferguson.

Before being drafted by the Rams, Ferguson played his college football with the Oregon Ducks from 2021 through 2024. In his four years in Eugene, he totaled 1,537 receiving yards and 16 touchdown receptions.
Despite Oregon’s coach changing from Mario Cristobal to Dan Lanning after Ferguson’s freshman year, he stayed with the Ducks even when many players have decided to leave with a new coach coming in.
Ferguson’s receiving yards went up each season with Oregon, boosting his draft stock and eventually landing him as a third round pick. Is he helping pave the way for success for future Oregon Ducks tight ends?
Oregon’s top tight end in 2025 is Kenyon Sadiq. Sadiq is in his third season with Oregon and it has been his best year to this point. He has 21 receptions for 305 yards and five touchdown receptions.
Sadiq was one of the players of the game for Oregon in their last outing against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. The Ducks went on the road and dominated from start to finish in their 56-10 win. Sadiq had a game high 80 receiving yards on four receptions and two touchdowns.
This was an important win for Oregon, who bounced back from their home defeat to the Indiana Hooisers. The Ducks are now ranked No. 6 in the country in the updated AP Top 25 poll. They are 6-1 this season. Up next is the Wisconsin Badgers at Autzen Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 25.
Just 11 games into his stint as the team’s offensive coordinator, the Las Vegas Raiders have decided to part ways with Chip Kelly.
The Raiders offense is averaging just 15.0 points per game this season, tied for last in the NFL. They hold a 2-9 record after losing to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
The former Oregon Ducks head coach was hired by Las Vegas in February after helping lead the Ohio State Buckeyes to the 2025 national title. His rushing scheme during the Buckeye’s College Football Playoff was lauded, with the Raiders expecting big things from Kelly and 2025 No. 4 overall pick, running back Ashton Jeanty.
The production simply hasn’t been there, as Jeanty has just a single 100-yard game this season and is averaging 3.7 yards per carry. He’s scored nearly as many touchdowns in the receiving game (three) as on the ground (four).
The Raiders also traded for former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, pairing him with newly-hired head coach Pete Carroll and Kelly. Thus far, he leads the league in interceptions with 13, having thrown just 12 touchdown passes despite having one of the best tight ends in the NFL in Brock Bowers as his go-to target.
At the end of the day, the blame falls on Kelly, who simply couldn’t coax enough points out of this group as they embarked on an extremely disappointing season.
Kelly rose to prominence in the football world during his tenure as the Ducks’ head coach from 2009 to 2012. He led them to the 2011 national championship, where they narrowly lost to the Auburn Tigers, 22-19.
He parlayed his success at Oregon into landing his first head coaching gig in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles, leading them to a 10-win season and a playoff berth in his debut campaign in 2013. But his quick, no-huddle offense quickly fell out of style in the league, and he was fired in 2015. He was soon hired by the San Francisco 49ers before being fired after just one season and a dismal 2-14 record.
Now, after less than 12 months on the job with the Raiders, Kelly is once again on the offensive coordinator or head coach job market.

The Oregon Ducks took care of business at Autzen Stadium on Saturday against the USC Trojans in a 42-27 win, boosting their College Football Playoff hopes in a major way in the process.
With one loss so far this season, the Ducks don’t control their destiny back to the Big Ten Championship but there is still a clear path for them to get there.
So, what is it going to take for Oregon to book another trip back to Indianapolis?
Oregon will need to win its regular-season finale against the Washington Huskies — and get some help from one of their other Big Ten foes — in order to book another trip to Indianapolis.
The Ducks will need to:
– win vs. Washington Huskies
– Michigan Wolverines win over Ohio State Buckeyes
If this happens, Oregon would face the Indiana Hoosiers in the Big Ten Championship and would have a chance to avenge its only loss of the regular season. The Hoosiers beat the Ducks, 30-20, in Eugene on Oct. 11.

This seems simple enough, but it will require another big upset to happen for the second year in a row in “The Game.”
Despite Ohio State’s struggles against Michigan over the past few seasons, the No. 1-ranked Buckeyes have been on a roll all season long and appear to be the favorites to repeat as national champions. The Wolverines upset Ohio State in Columbus last season, and it’s hard to imagine that hasn’t been on the minds of the Buckeyes over the past year.
Expect Ohio State coach Ryan Day’s squad to be highly motivated headed into the matchup in Ann Arbor. But as we’ve seen in this rivalry, crazier things have happened, and the Ducks will certainly be hoping for something wild.
For Oregon, a win over Washington might be the simplest step in this equation despite the Huskies’ 8-3 record. Washington took down the UCLA Bruins with an easy 48-14 win in Los Angeles on Saturday night, but the Huskies had a questionable 13-10 loss to a lowly Wisconsin squad on Nov. 8 and certainly appear vulnerable.
The Huskies are out of CFP contention and can’t make the Big Ten Championship. On the surface, it doesn’t appear as if there’s much to play for against a heated rival in Oregon.
However, Oregon will be in town for Senior Day at Husky Stadium against an old Pac-12 rival, and the Washington fans are certain to be chaotic in hopes of spoiling the Ducks’ Big Ten title hopes.
The Ducks have battled through some tough road environments this season, but the Washington crowd is arguably among the toughest they will face when the two teams kick off on Saturday.
PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — Four U.S. citizens were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Oregon this week, according to Oregon for All, a coalition of over 100 organizations.
Among those detained were two Oregonians from McMinnville, including a 17-year-old high school senior, during ICE sweeps in Yamhill County. At least seven others were arrested in the operation.

McMinnville School District Superintendent Kourtney Ferrua confirmed that ICE officers took a high school student into custody off school grounds during lunch on Friday.
“We are working to verify information through appropriate channels and remain in communication with local partners,” Ferrua said.
She emphasized that ICE agents have not entered schools in her district and expressed concern for the students’ safety and emotional well-being.
The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to KATU’s request for comment on Friday.
On Thursday, two women were detained in Canby after filming ICE agents in a parking lot, according to Oregon for All. They were later released.
The coalition said the four individuals have chosen to remain anonymous due to fears of further retaliation.
Jess Montoya, director of the Oregon for All Network, criticized the detentions. “Four U.S. citizens were held for hours without access to an attorney, leaving their family members terrified and desperate to find out what happened to them.”
Montoya added, “The First Amendment protects the right of Oregonians to document ICE in public as long as they don’t interfere with or obstruct law enforcement activities. ICE’s intimidation of Oregonians is unacceptable.”
Oregon for All advocates for justice for immigrant and refugee communities, with support from groups such as APANO, ACLU of Oregon, and the Oregon Food Bank.
KATU News reached out to ICE and other agencies for comment, awaiting response.
