Oregon Ducks’ Terrance Ferguson on Ohio State: ‘Come to Oregon for Games Like This’
The No. 3 Oregon Ducks and No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes will meet on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. PT in Autzen Stadium. Ducks tight end Terrance Ferguson is one of few current players who was on the Oregon team that beat the Buckeyes in 2021. He shared some of his thoughts and motivations before the top-3 showdown after practice on Wednesday, Oct. 9.
Terrance Ferguson Speaks on Elite Ohio State Defense
The Oregon offense will have its hands full with a top-notch Ohio State Buckeyes defense. Ducks tight end Terrance Ferguson talked about what makes the Buckeyes’ defense so tough. Ferguson was asked about edge rushers J.T. Tuimoloau and Jack Sawyer.
“They’re elite athletes,” Ferguson says. “They’re strong, come off the edge, they have good pass rush moves. . . good at getting off blocks.”
Ferguson was also asked what stands out about the Ohio State secondary.
“They’re all good athletes in the backend. They’re all good in their technique. They execute the calls they’re supposed to,” Ferguson says. “I think the biggest thing with them they use their hands in coverage which is a big piece.”
In Ohio State’s five games this season, they have only allowed 30 total points. Ferguson welcomes the challenge.
“The biggest reason I came back (to Oregon) was to win something worth winning,” Ferguson remarked.
A win over Ohio State would put the Ducks on a nice path toward a Big Ten championship game appearance.
Ferguson Having Fun in Loaded Ducks Offense
There is no shortage of weapons on the Oregon Ducks offense. Ferguson talked about what makes playing for Oregon so much fun.
“It’s the best offense I’ve been a part of. You got so many explosive players across the board,” Ferguson says. “It’s almost like a video game for us. We got all these good players and you pick who you want to throw the ball to. It’s a lot of fun”
The player delivering the ball to these weapons if Ducks quarterback Dillon Gabriel.
“He’s the best in the nation. When he’s himself, no one can stop him,” Ferguson says about Gabriel.
Key to Beating Ohio State
The last time the Oregon Ducks and Ohio State Buckeyes faced off was in 2021. The Ducks went into Columbus and controlled the game in a 35-28 win. Oregons’ run game behind running back CJ Verdell was the driving force in the win. Ferguson, who was on that 2021 Oregon team, says they will look to do this again on Saturday.
“Key to success in winning in ’21 was running the ball and that’s something we’ll replicate on Saturday,” Ferguson said.
Ferguson has experience in these big games. The Ducks will not be phased by the bright lights.
“You come to Oregon to play in games like this,” Ferguson says. “Experience makes us comfortable.”

Where Oregon Ducks rank in industry recruiting rankings for 2027 class
With the winter evaluation period of high school football recruiting now behind us, we’ve seen some of the top recruiting sites update their rankings over the past few weeks and start to reset their boards for the 2027 class. In February, On3 shifted players around after getting fresh looks at the class, and 247Sports did the same earlier this week.
So with Oregon’s handful of commits getting new ratings, where does the Ducks’ class rank nationally in this cycle?
If you look at sites individually, it looks different, with 247Sports having Oregon sitting at No. 13 in the nation. At Rivals, though, they take the industry ranking, which factors in their own rankings, plus an average from 247Sports and ESPN.
In the industry rankings, Oregon sits at No. 9 in the nation, with five commitments.
Going into the summer months, the Ducks are in a great spot, leading or among the top schools for a handful of the top prospects in the nation, like 5-star QB Will Mencl or 5-star WR Dakota Guerrant. We will see what movement Oregon can make in the coming months after official visits take place early in the summer.

New Data Shows Oregon E-Scooter Injuries on the Rise
Data released by the Oregon Health Authority this week suggests Oregonians are getting hurt on electric scooters more every year.
In recent years, according to OHA, an “e-scooter-specific code” was developed for health care tracking purposes.
From 2021 to 2024, annual injury reports under this code from Oregon hospitals and emergency departments jumped from 211 to 418.
And in just the first nine months of 2025, there had been 509 such reports.
“These injuries are not minor scrapes,” said Dagan Wright, an OHA epidemiologist, in a written statement. “They often involve head injuries, broken bones, and other serious trauma that requires emergency or inpatient care.”
The city of Portland signed contracts with three e-scooter rental companies in 2018, as the transportation craze spread across the country. But e-scooter injury diagnosis codes are relatively new in health care reporting, Wright said in the OHA statement.
“While the overall numbers remain smaller than for other transportation-related injuries, the rapid increase over a short period of time is a clear safety signal,” OHA added.
The agency highlighted the story of Portland e-scooter commuter Daniel Pflieger, who it says was riding a scooter home when he reportedly slid on ice. He bruised several ribs.
Sometimes outcomes are worse. OHA identified 17 deaths linked to electric or motorized scooters since 2018, and seven of those occurred in 2025.
OHA says that e-bikes raise many similar safety concerns as e-scooters. The first full year for which e-bike injuries were coded for reporting was 2023. State data shows 392 reported e-bike injuries that year, 683 in 2024, and 760 in the first nine months of 2025.
“Injuries involving e-bikes and e-scooters share common risk factors—speed, lack of helmet use, roadway design, and interactions with motor vehicles,” Wright said.
Willamette Week’s reporting has concrete impacts that change laws, force action from civic leaders, and drive compromised politicians from public office.
