Oregon Running Back Noah Whittington Anticipated to Participate in Game at Penn State

The No. 6 Oregon Ducks are gearing up for an exciting game against the No. 3 Penn State this weekend, and they’re expecting their starting running back, Noah Whittington, to be back in action. Whittington, who had an impressive 159 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the first two games of the season, has been sidelined for the past two games due to an injury.

Coach Dan Lanning has expressed optimism about Whittington’s return, mentioning that they could have pushed for his comeback in the previous game. This means that fans can likely see Whittington back on the field this Saturday night in Happy Valley, a game you can catch on NBC at 4:30 p.m.

In Whittington’s absence, the Ducks have been rotating their available scholarship running backs, with several players getting their chance to shine. Jayden Limar has stepped up in the starting role, while freshman Dierre Hill Jr. has made an impact on special teams.

Oregon’s rushing offense has been impressive this season, ranking seventh nationally in yards per carry and 10th in rushing yards per game. On the other hand, Penn State’s defense has held strong, ranking 22nd in yards allowed per carry and 33rd in rushing yards allowed per game.

It’s sure to be a thrilling matchup between these two top teams. So make sure to tune in this Saturday to catch all the action!
