Oregon TEs eclipse season-long TD total in 17 minutes vs. Penn State
Oregon tight ends may not get quite the talk that Penn State All-American candidate Tyler Warren does, but that group is delivering in a big way for the Ducks in the B1G Championship Game on Saturday night.
Entering the game, the Oregon tight ends had only 2 touchdowns on the season (Terrance Ferguson had both of those), but they have already surpassed that on the first 3 drives of the game as Dillon Gabriel has started the game on fire.

Kenyon Sadiq was on the receiving end of the first 2 touchdowns, as he scored on catches of 2 and 28 yards. On Gabriel’s 3rd touchdown pass of the half, it was Ferguson who was on the receiving end. On the Ducks’ first 3 drives of the game, Gabriel was 10-of-13 for 128 yards and 3 touchdowns.
If Oregon is able to go on and get this win, the Ducks will be the No. 1 overall seed when the College Football Playoff bracket is released on Sunday. The CFP bracket will be released on Sunday at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT on ESPN, and both of these fanbases will see their teams on the bracket.
