No. 5 Oregon won’t have running back Jordon Davison when it meets No. 1 Indiana on Friday night in the College Football Playoff semifinals at the Peach Bowl in Atlanta.
Oregon listed Davison, who leads the team with 15 rushing touchdowns, as out on the availability report released Tuesday. The true freshman sustained a broken clavicle in the win over Texas Tech in the CFP quarterfinals on Jan. 1 at the Orange Bowl, according to a report in the Oregonian.
Davison is second on the team with 677 yards on 113 carries and also caught 12 passes for 62 yards in 14 games.
He rushed eight times for 59 yards and caught four passes for 9 yards in the Ducks’ only setback this season, a 30-20 home loss to Indiana on Oct. 11.
Davison had 15 carries for 42 yards and two touchdowns in the 23-0 win over No. 4 Texas Tech.
The Ducks (13-1) have leading rusher Noah Whittington, a senior with 129 carries for 829 yards and six TDs in 12 games, and freshman Dierre Hill Jr., who ran for 570 yards and five TDs on 70 attempts.
Running backs Jayden Limar (262 yards, three TDs) and Makhi Hughes (70 yards) have entered the transfer portal.
