Michigan Faces Oregon Without Key Players

In a highly anticipated matchup, Oregon's top wide receiver, Tez Johnson, left the game against Michigan with an apparent upper body injury early in the first quarter. Johnson had been instrumental for the Ducks this season, leading the team with 63 receptions and eight touchdowns. On the Michigan side, key players including All-American cornerback Will Johnson will also miss the game due to injury, which leaves the Wolverines at a disadvantage against Oregon's explosive offense. Michigan has listed multiple players as out or questionable, further complicating their game strategy. Despite these setbacks, Michigan coach Sherrone Moore remains optimistic about Johnson's eventual return this season. The Ducks enter the game as 16-point favorites, aiming to continue their undefeated streak against a struggling Michigan team.
