  • 1 thing I loved: Savion Hiter’s first explosive TD run of his career, and some tough running If there’s anything positive to discuss from this game, it’s that freshman running back Savion Hiter FINALLY got the first explosive touchdown of his career.

It was going to be a tall task for Michigan football to travel to Oregon and win on Saturday, and that's before even taking into consideration the trajectory of either team.

  • takes it 49-yards to the house for an @oregonfootball score pic.twitter.com/hMSgoBJqHJ — FOX College Football (@CFBONFOX) November 14, 2026 At the end of the day, Oregon’s offense put up 467 total yards (341 passing, 126 rushing) and 31 points, and picked up 18 first downs.
  • The run game improvement would be encouraging, but it didn't make enough of a difference, though Michigan outrushed Oregon 215-to-126 (the Ducks outgained the Wolverines 467-to-286 overall, though).
  • Michigan needed its defense to play at its very best to have a shot at winning, but Oregon’s offense did enough in the first half to negate any possibility of a Michigan comeback.
  • 1 thing I hated: Way too many explosive plays given up If there was one thing I hoped would happen in this game, it was that the defense would at least show up.
  • It didn’t take long for Oregon quarterback Dylan Raiola to make his first explosive play of the day, as he found wide receiver Jeremiah McClellan for 60 yards and the score on the first drive of the game.
