After failing to clinch a Pac-12 championship, the No. 8 Oregon Ducks (11-2) will play in the Fiesta Bowl against the undefeated No. 20 Liberty Flames (13-0). The Flames are playing in their first season with Conference USA, and what a season it has been. They’ve earned a conference championship and have yet to lose a single game. That said, they have not yet played a top-50 offense in college football. Oregon will undoubtedly be the toughest competition Liberty has faced all season.
Not only will Oregon be a tough task for Liberty, but Oregon will also be playing with something to prove. Their two losses to Washington came by a combined six points. They were ever so close to earning a spot in the college football playoff, but came up just short in the end. They will be playing mad. Even without star wideout Troy Franklin, Oregon’s offense has the talent to roll any team in FBS.
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2024 Fiesta Bowl.
College Football Playoff: Yes, Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh can be odd and frustrating. But college football needs him.
Sportsbook Wire: Oregon (+17.5)
Sportsbook Wire points out that when the Ducks were 18-point favorites or bigger this season, the Ducks went 5-1 against the spread. With Oregon’s only losses this season coming to Washington, a win against Liberty shouldn’t be too difficult to imagine, even with the Flames’ perfect record.
CBS Sports: Oregon ML
The CBS Sports staff writes, “The Flames were not tested by this type of offense this season, as they did not face a top-50 scoring offense all year. Oregon not only has more talent, but it has also done a much better job of taking care of the ball this year. The Ducks committed the third-fewest turnovers in the country, while Liberty turned the ball over at the 14th highest rate. This adds up to a comfortable win for Oregon.”
FOX Sports: Oregon ML
Bryan Fischer writes, “Even if Bo Nix and a handful of other NFL players opt out of this one, stick around for the chess match that comes from Dan Lanning’s defense trying to stop what Jamey Chadwell does on offense, as the Flames try to cap off their first year in C-USA as an undefeated.”
Bleacher Report: Oregon 43, Liberty 24
David Keyon writes, “Between coach Jamey Chadwell’s unique system and quarterback Kaidon Salter’s dynamism, Liberty has a really fun offense. The team has scored 38-plus points in seven straight games. Oregon, however, has largely avoided the opt-out trend and expects Bo Nix to play. Not overthinking this one.”
The Ducks are favorites to defeat the Flames, according to the BetMGM NCAA odds. Looking to wager? Check out the best mobile sports betting apps offering NCAA betting promos in 2023.

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.
EUGENE — Oregon moved in the polls after it ravaged Rutgers.
The Ducks are No. 6 with 1,317 points in the AP poll and No. 6 with 1,302 points in the coaches poll following their 56-10 win over the Scarlet Knights at SHI Stadium.
That’s up from No. 8 with 1,175 points and No. 9 with 1,154 points, respectively, last week.
Oregon (6-1, 3-1) hosts Wisconsin (2-5, 0-4) on Saturday (4 p.m., FS1).
