Oregon will be without a pair of top wide receivers Saturday as it chases a College Football Playoff bid. Wide receivers Dakorien Moore and Gary Bryant Jr. were ruled out for the No. 7 Ducks against No. 15 USC due to injuries. Moore, a freshman who was the No. 4 recruit in the country, will miss his third straight game after being injured in practice earlier this month. Bryant went down with an apparent foot injury against Iowa on Nov. 8 and did not play in last week's win over Minnesota. Moore has 28 receptions for 443 yards and three touchdowns, while Bryant has 25 receptions for 298 yards and four touchdowns. USC safety Bishop Fitzgerald -- one of the key figures of the Trojans' secondary this season -- is out for the game with an undisclosed injury. Fitzgerald has five interceptions this season, tied for the most of any player in the country, as well as three pass deflections and 51 tackles. The senior is the highest graded safety in the Power 4, per Pro Football Focus. The Trojans may also be without star safety Kamari Ramsey, who is listed as questionable on the official injury report along with offensive lineman Elijah Paige. Ramsey left last week's game against Iowa with an unspecified injury.
