Oregon Defeats Michigan; Tez Johnson Injured

Oregon Ducks' star wide receiver Tez Johnson suffered a shoulder injury during the team's victory over Michigan, marking their record at 9-0 in their inaugural Big Ten season. Johnson, who left the game early, is expected to return later in the season as his injury isn't deemed season-ending and doesn't require surgery. Despite his absence, the Ducks secured the win with quarterback Dillon Gabriel throwing for 294 yards and a touchdown. Johnson, with 64 receptions and 649 yards this season, is crucial for Oregon's Big Ten Championship and College Football Playoff aspirations. His leadership and performance have been pivotal, and his anticipated return is crucial for their continued success. Michigan faced significant challenges in this matchup, notably missing star cornerback Will Johnson due to a lower-body injury.
