Oregon enters the 2024 season after finishing 2023 with a 12-2 overall record and defeating Liberty 45-6. The Ducks signed one of the top transfer portal classes, headlined by former Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel, former Texas A&M wide receiver Evan Stewart, former Washington cornerback Jabbar Muhammad and former Michigan State defensive tackle Derrick Harmon.
The Ducks will play a lot of big games this year, but none loom larger than an October 12 matchup against Ohio State at home in Eugene.
