Oregon football will be without a key member of its offense for its College Football Playoff Peach Bowl semifinal against No. 1 Indiana on Friday, Jan. 9.

The fifth-seeded Ducks officially ruled out running back Jordon Davison for the national semifinal game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, according to the initial CPF availability report that was released on Tuesday, Jan. 6.

Davison's rule-out came a few hours after The Oregonian reported the true freshman running back broke his clavicle against Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl.

It's a big loss for the Ducks, as Davison leads the team with 15 rushing yards and is second in rushing yards at 667. With Davison out, Noah Whittington, who has split snaps with Davison this season, will take on more snaps and a role in Oregon's running game, as the Ducks recently lost Jayden Limar and Makhi Hughes to the transfer portal.

The Ducks and the Hoosiers are slated for a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff on Jan. 9 in the CFP Peach Bowl semifinal inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
