Ohio State and Oregon are set for a massive No. 2 vs. No. 3 matchup at Autzen Stadium in Eugene on Saturday. It’s only the 10th time the 2 programs have met — the most recent meeting coming in 2021 — but the first time they’ve faced each other as Big Ten teams.
Ahead of Saturday’s showdown, both teams released their availability reports. It’s essentially a clean bill of health for the Buckeyes, who have running back TC Caffey out for the season but no one else listed as out or questionable.
Oregon, though, has listed talented defensive end Jordan Burch as questionable for the game. Burch is 3rd among B1G players with quarterback pressures with 21 and enters with a B1G-high 5.0 sacks. His absence will equal a big blow for the Ducks’ pass rush as they look to limit Buckeyes quarterback Will Howard’s impact throughout the afternoon.
Here are the full availability reports for both teams:
Both Ohio State and Oregon enter with identical 5-0 records and 2-0 marks in B1G play, with the winner of this one tied with Indiana for first place in the conference. Indiana has an open week.
Kickoff from Autzen Stadium is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. The game will be televised on NBC and Peacock.
