Overview
- Oregon’s availability report lists freshman Jordon Davison as out after a broken clavicle suffered in the Jan. 1 quarterfinal; he led the Ducks with 15 rushing touchdowns and had 677 yards.
- Portal departures by Jayden Limar and Makhi Hughes thin the depth chart, placing the workload on Noah Whittington (829 yards, six TDs) and Dierre Hill Jr. (570 yards, five TDs); transfer Jay Harris was not listed as out midweek, leaving his status uncertain.
- Sportsbooks price Indiana as a 3.5-point favorite, and updated simulations, including Dimers, give the Hoosiers about a 60% win probability with a 26–23 projected score.
- Indiana enters 14–0 after handing Oregon its lone loss on Oct. 11, 30–20, powered by a second-ranked defense and a +18 turnover differential.
- The Peach Bowl semifinal kicks off Friday at 7:30 p.m. EST at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
