We are well into the back half of the college football season, and the injury report is starting to reflect that. The list of players who will miss the game with injury has grown for both the Oregon Ducks and Ohio State Buckeyes, and ahead of this top-25 matchup, some of the players considered the best in the nation are expected to be sidelined.
That includes the former starting QBs for both teams: Oregon's Dante Moore and Ohio State's Julian Sayin.
It goes further than that for the Ducks, though, who are also expected to be without starting running back Jordon Davison in this game, though they do expect wide receiver Jeremiah McClellan to return for the first time since Week 2.
Over the past few days, we have been tracking injuries for both teams
and working to figure out who is going to be playing and who is going to be held out. Over the past three nights, availability reports have been released by the Big Ten Conference, showing which players are out, questionable to play, doubtful to play, and probable.
Now, two hours before kickoff, we get our final availability report, with all of those players either listed as out or game-time decisions. For the latter section, we will be watching throughout warmups to see what their status may be.
